Delicious Pineapple Casserole

My first time having Pineapple Casserole was on a trip to the beach a few years ago. It was on the menu at one of the restaurants. I gave it a shot and loved it. I came home and started making my own version ever since! Bread cubes, crushed pineapple, sugar, eggs, butter, lemon juice, nutmeg, and brown sugar. We always serve it as a side dish, but you could almost serve it as a dessert. It is almost a Pineapple Bread Pudding. However you serve it, it is sure to be a hit. This is our go-to side dish for our Easter ham, summer cookouts, and holiday meals.

How To Make Pineapple Casserole

This casserole is super easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. In a large bowl, beat together softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Mix in eggs and beat well to blend. Stir in crushed pineapple with pineapple juice, lemon juice, and nutmeg. Carefully fold in bread cubes. Spoon pineapple mixture into prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle brown sugar on top of pineapple mixture. Bake in the oven for 45 minutes, until golden brown. Let the casserole cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions
