Pineapple Casserole

Submitted by Chef Mommydude

"This was given to me by a good friend. At first glimpse, I think I said something intelligible like, "EWWWWW". But, I gave it try and my kids love it. I can't even get it to the plate. They eat it out of the pan as soon as it comes out of the oven. Now it's a traditional side at Thanksgiving. Thanks Toni!"

Oh my my... I have fallen in love! This is without a doubt one of the best side dishes around. Wasn't quite sure what to expect but boy oh boy did it ever surpass the ordinary. I served this with "recipe #78399" and butternut squash. Thank you so much...I can't wait to make this again. Did I mention that it makes a great snack after dinner lol.

This is one of the best side dishes I've found in over 40 years of cooking. There are never any leftovers. Goes wonderfully with baked ham.
