Notes

This tasty casserole dish is delicious both as a side and a dessert.
Grease the casserole dish for easier cleanup.
Drain as much of the juice off the crushed pineapple and pineapple tidbits as possible. I drain mine into a glass so my son can enjoy the pineapple juice.
Canned pineapple is best for this Pineapple Casserole recipe. I use the pineapple packed in its own juice.
Preheat the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the cracker crumbs are golden brown and the casserole is heated through with the cheese melted.
Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to four days. It can be reheated in the microwave or covered with aluminum foil and heated at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes.
