Baked Pineapple Casserole

Golden and butter, this Easy Baked Pineapple Casserole recipe is a staple side dish for so many occasions! Made with just 5 ingredients, crushed pineapple, pineapple chunks, bread and butter are baked until bubbly and perfect. The best accompaniment to your holiday ham.

Pineapple Casserole

Our favorite side dish for ham…..this easy Baked Pineapple Casserole is a family tradition for Easter. It goes with just about any main dish recipe but ham and pineapple go together like Mac and cheese…basically.

We’ve been making this recipe for year’s and, mainly, because it’s so simple to throw together. Many versions call for raisins folded into the bread mixture before baking but I’m not a big fan so I leave them out. You can definitely add them in for a little extra sweetness and texture.

Baked Pineapple Stuffing, also known as, crushed pineapple casserole is seriously amazing in every sense of the word.

What is Baked Pineapple Casserole?

Baked Pineapple, or Pineapple Stuffing, is an easy to make casserole that bakes in the oven and is the perfect side dish for your holiday ham. Buttery and sweet, Pineapple Casserole is made with both crushed pineapple and pineapple chunks for a very pineapple-y flavor not commonly found in most Baked Pineapple recipes.

Classic Baked Pineapple usually calls for just crushed pineapple and it’s juices but I add the pineapple chunks for another layer of texture and flavor.

This pineapple casserole recipe could also be used as a dessert because it’s very similar to a Baked Pineapple Bread Pudding.

Ingredients You Will Need

This Pineapple Casserole contains the following ingredients:

• Crushed Pineapple
• Pineapple Chunks
• eggs
• Butter
• Sugar

Does Baked Pineapple Casserole have cheese in it?

My Pineapple Casserole recipe does NOT have cheese in it, although, I have seen other recipes that do include cheese. It’s definitely not a necessary component for a successful dish and we love this pineapple casserole recipe because of it’s simplicity.

Here are my favorite things to serve with Baked Pineapple:
