Tips and Tricks For Pineapple Casserole:

• Grate your own cheese. Cheese that is already grated doesn’t melt as well, as they put flour on it so that it doesn’t stick together.
• Drain your pineapple very well because the chunks hold a lot of juice and you do not want your casserole too runny.
• Don’t use fresh pineapple in this recipe; canned is better here.
• If you want this dish to be more of a dessert, add toppings like coconut flakes or chopped pecans, or even a dollop of whipped cream.
