I use TownHouse crackers (which I think are best) but this is GOOD! Be sure you have a crowd or you'll eat it all yourself! LOL

I found this recipe here years ago and it has become a must for all holiday dinners. I use brown sugar instead of white and it's fantastic!

Ma. Paula you have the most amazing dessert recipes. The peach cobbler recipe is the best and this pinapple casserole sounds wonderful. My cooking is spoken often of around my friends and family but i dont tell them i get alot of my recipe from you. Thank you so much.

It was too soupy, I may try again but do not know what to adjust. Maybe I will add more pineapples, and Ritz.

This dessert is the top bill at every party I bring it to. I don't even have to ask what to bring, it's always the same reply. Make that Paul Deen pineapple stuff. I love it too. Thanks big sister for giving it to me to share. Cindy Boyd, Palm Bay FL

AWESOME!! So easy and so good. My sister made this to accompany the Easter Ham; and although she is a great cook, this dish stole the show.

This is one of the best recipes I have found in a long time. We paired it with stuffed pork chop and roasted garlic sauteed green beans. It was fabulous!

My boyfriend's aunt made this Pineapple casserole for Thanksgiving & we put it on top of our honey ham & it was amazing!!
By Tiffany Spreadbury on December 03, 2011
this recipe was one of my mother's favorite you can use it as a dessert or side.
By cynthiaherring on November 04, 2011
I make this @ Thanksgiving & Christmas, it's delicious with turkey or ham. I add cream cheese to the mixture which takes it to another level!I use the whole sleeve of crackers with the butter, but no juice for the topping.My family & friends love it!

Everyone raves when I make this casserole. I've made it on many, many occasions. Super easy & yummy! I quickly found out you do not need to use the reserved pineapple juice. Makes it too runny. Also, I use more than one cup of Ritz cracker crumbs. A whole sleeve usually works best. Last but not least, I use one beaten egg. Holds it together better & makes the perfect consistency you want in a casserole dish.

I've had a pineapple casserole before and it was delicious, just forgot to ask for the recipe. Found this one and tried it last night. Like most of Paula's recipes (no flaw for being a good ol' Southern cook), this one has WAY TOO MUCH BUTTER. Turns it into fat congealed soup. If I try again, will definitely only use ONE stick of butter.
