This here pineapple casserole with bread, oh honey, it’s somethin’ else. My grandpappy used to say, “A full belly makes a happy heart.” And this here dish, it fills you right up. It’s good for any time, you know? Breakfast, supper, even just a little somethin’ somethin’ when you’re feelin’ peckish at night. I had some leftover the other day and just ate it with a spoon!
First thing you gotta do is get yourself a good pineapple. Not them little bitty things, but a nice, plump one. You know, the kind that smells sweet like a summer day when you’re hangin’ laundry on the line. Then you gotta have some bread. Now, any old bread will do, but I like to use that there crusty kind. Makes it, you know, got a little somethin’ to chew on.
Then you need some of that there cheese. The kind that melts all gooey-like. Don’t be stingy with the cheese, now. The more the better, I always say. And butter. Gotta have butter. Everything’s better with butter, ain’t that right? And some sugar, too. Not too much, just enough to make it a little sweet, like a hug from your grandma.
- Pineapple, all chopped up
- Bread, the crusty kind, cut into cubes
- Cheese, lots of it!
- Butter, gotta have it!
- Sugar, just a little bit
Alright, so here’s what you do. You take that pineapple, and you drain it good. Don’t want no watery mess. Then you mix it up with that bread. Get it all nice and coated. Then you take your butter and your sugar, and you mix that up real good, too. Like you’re churnin’ butter, but way easier, thank goodness.
Next, you gotta get yourself a dish. One of them casserole dishes, you know the ones. Grease it up real good with some butter. Don’t want nothin’ stickin’. Then you pour in that pineapple and bread mixture. Spread it all out even-like. Then you sprinkle that cheese all over the top. Like a blanket of cheesy goodness. The more cheese, the better, like I said. It’s important for the pineapple bread casserole.
Then, you pour that butter and sugar mixture all over the top. Drizzle it real good. Make sure it gets all over everything. This is what makes it all golden brown and crispy on top. And who don’t love a little crispy somethin’ somethin’? This pineapple casserole recipe is easy, right?
Now, you gotta bake it. Put it in the oven, not too hot, not too low. Just right. You know it’s done when it’s all bubbly and golden brown on top. And when your house smells like a little slice of heaven. Oh, it smells so good when it’s cookin’. Makes your mouth water just thinkin’ about it.
And that’s it! That’s how you make this here pineapple casserole with bread. It’s so easy, even a city slicker could do it. And it’s so good, you’ll be lickin’ your plate clean. I made some other dishes with pineapple, too. Like put it in BBQ sauce, in carrot cake. But this one is my favorite.
Serve it up with whatever you like. Pork, chicken, whatever you got. It goes good with everything. Or just eat it by itself. That’s what I do sometimes. Just a big ol’ bowl of pineapple casserole. Makes my heart happy, it does. This is the best pineapple casserole!
So there you have it. A simple dish for simple folks. But sometimes, simple is best, ain’t that right? Now go on and try it yourself. You won’t be sorry. And tell your friends, too. Spread the love, that’s what I always say. The more folks eatin’ good food, the happier this old world will be. And that’s all that matters, ain’t it? Happiness and a full belly. That’s the secret to a good life, right there.
