Pineapple Casserole

I love pineapple casserole.  It is a different side dish and complements pork quite well.  Of course it can be eaten with other dish options as well.  Hot pineapple you say?  Try it!

Pineapple Casserole

Ingredients:

2 20-ounce cans chunk pineapple (I like more pineapple so will use 3 cans next time.)
1/3 cup white sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup salted butter
4 Tablespoons of the pineapple juice you reserved
1 cup crushed cornflakes (measure after crushing)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Drain the pineapple, reserving the juice.  You will use some of it in this recipe.

Mix the sugar, flour, salt and baking soda together in a small bowl.  Make sure they're well mixed.

Spray a 2-quart casserole dish with nonstick baking spray.  Put the flour mixture in the bottom of the casserole dish.

Add the drained pineapple to the casserole dish and mix it in.  Add the grated cheese to the dish and mix that in.

Melt the butter, this can be done in the microwave for 45 seconds.
Drizzle about half of the melted butter over the mixture in the casserole dish.  Mix this all up again.

Drizzle the top with 4 T. of the pineapple juice you reserved.

Sprinkle the crushed cornflakes over the casserole.
Drizzle the remaining melted butter over the cornflakes.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes.
