Pineapple Casserole

Oh my Oh my...if you have never have had Pineapple Casserole
you are really missing out. It may sound weird but think of it
like a Cobbler...sort of. It is good as a side with ham, a dessert
with vanilla ice cream. This versatile dish is really heavenly.

1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
2  20oz. cans pineapple chunks, drained, and
reserve 1/2 cup of the pineapple juice (I used pineapple tidbits)
 1 1/2 sleeves Ritz crackers - crushed
 1 stick butter - use real it taste so much better that way

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 
Spray a medium size casserole pan with Pam. 
In a large bowl, stir together the sugar and flour.
Gradually stir in the cheese. Add the drained pineapple
chunks, and stir until ingredients are well combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish. 

In another medium bowl, combine the cracker crumbs,
melted butter, and reserved pineapple juice, stirring with
until evenly blended. Spread crumb mixture on top of
pineapple mixture. Bake 30 minutes or until golden brown on top.

Enjoy!!
