Ingredients
- 1 can 20 oz crushed pineapple (drained)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup crushed cornflakes
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
Mix Pineapple and Cream
- In a medium bowl, combine drained crushed pineapple, sour cream, melted butter, sugar and vanilla. Stir gently until everything is well mixed.
Add Cheese
- Stir in shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until cheese is evenly combined with pineapple mixture. The mixture will be creamy and slightly thick.
Transfer to Baking Dish
- Pour the pineapple mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly using a spatula. Make sure mixture reaches all corners.
Prepare Topping
- In a small bowl, mix crushed cornflakes, brown sugar and salt. Stir well to coat the cornflakes evenly with sugar and salt.
Add Topping
- Sprinkle the cornflake mixture evenly over the pineapple mixture. Press lightly with a spatula so it sticks. The topping will be crunchy after baking.
Bake the Casserole
- Place the dish in the oven. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the topping is golden brown and crispy. Check occasionally to avoid burning.
Cool and Serve
- Remove casserole from oven. Let it cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Serve warm as a side or dessert. Enjoy the sweet and crunchy flavors.
Notes
- Drain pineapple well to avoid soggy casserole.
- Use sharp cheddar for a stronger flavor.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra sweetness.
- Mix topping gently to avoid crushing cornflakes too much.
- Serve warm for best taste and texture.
- Make ahead and reheat for convenience.
