Pineapple Cheese Casserole

Ingredients

• 2 (20-ounce) cans canned pineapple chunks, drained
• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 2-quart baking dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and melted butter. Use a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the granulated sugar and eggs to the cream cheese mixture. Continue mixing until well combined and fluffy.
4. Stir in the flour, salt, and cinnamon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Gently fold in the drained pineapple chunks and 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
7. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the middle.
9. Allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
