Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups diced cooked ham
- 2 cups pineapple chunks (drained)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup crushed buttery crackers
- 0.5 cup pineapple juice
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced ham, drained pineapple chunks, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix them well and spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the pineapple juice, brown sugar, and all-purpose flour until the mixture thickens into a smooth glaze, about 3-5 minutes.
Pour the pineapple glaze evenly over the ham and pineapple mixture in the baking dish.
In a separate bowl, mix the crushed buttery crackers with the melted butter, salt, and pepper until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the cracker topping evenly over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
