8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple has a sweeter and more vibrant flavor than canned pineapple. If you're using canned pineapple, be sure to choose one that is packed in натуральный сок, not syrup.
  • Drain the pineapple well: Be sure to drain the pineapple well before adding it to the casserole. Otherwise, the casserole will be too watery.
  • Use a buttered baking dish: This will help to prevent the casserole from sticking.
  • Don't overcook the casserole: The casserole should be cooked until the pineapple is tender and the topping is golden brown, but not overcooked. Otherwise, the pineapple will become mushy and the topping will be too hard.
  • Serve the casserole warm: The casserole is best served warm, right out of the oven. You can also let it cool and serve it cold.

Conclusion:

Grandma's Baked Pineapple Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a sweet and tangy casserole that is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a new side dish to try, be sure to give this casserole a try. You won't be disappointed!
