Looking for a delicious new Easter recipe to add to your holiday table this year? Well look no further. If you haven’t been having pineapple au gratin with your Easter ham, then you’ve been majorly missing it out all these years.I know it may sound strange, but you’re going to have to trust me on this one. It’s sweet, it’s savory, it’s cheesy—and it’s topped with buttery, delicious crackers. What else could you ask for? Well, it’s this recipe is as easy as it is tasty and it comes together in just minutes, making it an almost-effortless addition to your holiday table. So yeah, it’s basically magic.
I love holiday traditions, and this easy side dish is one of my family’s favorites. My mom said she picked it up during her years in the South, and it’s been a staple at every Easter dinner since. And it’s a great addition to any holiday meal that’s served with ham, so sometimes we pull this recipe out at Christmas as well. It’s too good to have only once a year…
How to make this delicious Easter recipe is really simple and you don’t need any special equipment (ok, maybe a can opener?). Just drain two cans of pineapple tidbits and dump them in a bowl. Add the flour, sugar, and cheese, and give it a good stir. Then you dump it in a square baking pan and top it with the crushed crackers that have been drizzled with melted butter. Pop it in the oven for 30 minutes, and you’re in business. It’s really that simple.
I hope you take my word for it and give this recipe a try this Easter holiday. I can’t wait to hear what you think. Share your stories in the comments!
