Ingredients

2 (20 oz.) cans pineapple chunks in 100% pineapple juice ,drained (reserve 1/3 cup pineapple juice)
1 (20 oz.) can crushed pineapple ,drained
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
8 oz. cheddar cheese, shredded
2 sleeves Ritz Crackers ,crushed (Original Ritz crackers were used, from a 13.7 ounce box - so each sleeve has about 30 crackers in it, about 60 crackers in total.)
1/2 cup butter, melted

Instructions

Prepare your baking dish with cooking spray or butter and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Drain the pineapple chunks, reserving 1/3 cup of the juice. Drain the crushed pineapple too. (I like using a colander for this step, making sure all the pineapple is well-drained.) Once drained, transfer the pineapple and reserved juice to a large bowl. Add sugar, flour and cheese and mix until well-combined. Transfer pineapple-cheese mixture to the prepared baking dish.
