Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks or tidbits, drained well
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed cornflakes
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Casserole Mixture: Drain the canned pineapple thoroughly to remove excess moisture. In a mixing bowl, combine the pineapple, sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, beaten egg, flour, and brown sugar. Stir gently until all ingredients are well blended into a creamy mixture.
  2. Transfer to Baking Dish: Grease a casserole dish with butter. Pour the pineapple mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly without compacting it too much.
  3. Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes with melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle this topping generously over the pineapple mixture, ensuring full coverage.
  4. Bake the Pineapple Casserole: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the casserole uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly around the edges.
  5. Let it Rest Before Serving: Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. This helps it set and makes serving easier.

Notes

  • Drain pineapple thoroughly to prevent a watery casserole.
  • Use sharp cheddar cheese for a tangy flavor that balances the sweetness.
  • Watch the topping while baking to avoid burning the cornflakes.
  • Butter the casserole dish well to prevent sticking and add richness to the edges.
  • Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving for better texture and presentation.
