Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (crumbled) cornbread
- 20 ounces (drained) crushed pineapple (canned)
- 1 cup (melted) unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread and drained crushed pineapple. Mix well to evenly distribute the pineapple.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the cornbread and pineapple mixture and gently fold until everything is evenly moistened. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dressing mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or even as a dessert for a sweet-and-savory option.
