  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded For a richer flavor

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained crushed pineapple, shredded cheese, sugar, flour, and melted butter. Mix well.
Baking
  1. Pour the pineapple and cheese mixture into a greased 2-quart casserole dish.
  2. Sprinkle the crushed buttery crackers evenly over the top.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes or until bubbly and the topping is golden brown.

Notes

To maintain the topping's crispiness, serve immediately after baking. Leftovers can be refrigerated but will soften over time.
