While we often think of pineapple in desserts, this casserole is a sweet and savory side dish. While the ingredients may sound odd, the flavors work. And I promise if you show up with this dish, you’ll be everyone’s favorite person!
Keep leftover pineapple casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, and enjoy it cold or heat in the microwave if desired.
Freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to two months; however, the crackers will be soggy. Feel free to add fresh crackers to the top and pop it under the broiler until the cracker crumbs are crispy and golden brown.
