When I make pineapple casserole, I double the amount -because guests frequently request a second helping for dessert! Sweet-tangy fruit is even better combined with savory cheddar cheese and buttery cracker crumb topping. -Catherine Ann Goza, Leland, North Carolina

This casserole is so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to serve.

I'm allergic to Ritz crackers, so I used crushed cornflakes instead. It was a great substitute.

I had some trouble finding canned pineapple tidbits, so I used fresh pineapple instead. It worked out great!

This dish was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar.

I'm not a big fan of pineapple, but I actually really enjoyed this casserole. The Ritz crackers added a nice crunch and the cheese was melted and gooey.

My family loved this dish! It was a perfect balance of sweet and savory. The pineapple added a tropical flair that made it feel like a special occasion meal.
