Pineapple Cheese Casserole

In Nancy's Recipes by Steve Sliwa

We discovered this dish at an Embry-Riddle potluck where Ingrid Weeks (Executive Secretary for Academics) brought it to share.  At first blush, the name and ingredients does not sound appealing.  I mean, who would want pineapple in a cheese casserole.  However, after about 2 bites, it’s a race for seconds.  We enjoy the same experience with our friends and it has become a staple.  Put it on the table and watch the smirks and protests, but if you get them to try it, don’t be surprised if they want thirds, want to take the rest home, and/or ask for the recipe.

  • 3 (15 ounce) cans pineapple chunks
  • 2 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
