Pineapple Casserole
This sounds CRAZY. I don’t even know how to describe it. It reminds me of the old Apple Grande dessert you could get at Taco Johns that had apple pie filling and cheddar cheese on a cinnamon-sugared crispy flour tortilla. Same vibe here. The cheddar really sets off that pineapple flavor and the crackers turn it into a legit casserole. It almost feels like a dessert but it pairs perfectly with ham or chicken.
