Hot Pineapple

Submitted by breezermom

"This recipe is a great one to serve at a brunch. The fruity, sweet taste goes well with the often served hashbrown casseroles or sausage casseroles. Of course, you can serve it anytime! I read about this recipe in one of the "Sweet Potato Queens" books, but haven't been able to find it again, so I made it up to match it as best as I could."

Oh my goodness, this was a surprise hit in my family. We all loved this dish! I wish I could select more than just 5 starts. The sweetness of the pineapple, and the creamy touch of the cheddar, topped with the buttery cracker crumbs, all made for an excellent side dish for our pasta tonight. I'm so glad I tried this recipe. I'm going back for seconds, for sure! Thanks, breezermom. Made for Susie's World Tour 2018 (Hawaii).

I really enjoyed this! I made it as written, but added a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper, and took it out of the oven after 25 minutes! I may try the leftovers with vanilla ice cream ~ Tagged for 123Hits.

This is really good!! Wasn't sure how it was going to taste with the cheese, but it makes the dish taste better! Made 1/2 the recipe otherwise made as is. Made with recipe#329995 for our weekly 'breakfast for dinner'. Made for Newest Zaar Tag 5/2010.
