Pineapple Casserole

I thought I'd give this low-fat recipe a try.  It's very similar to a Pineapple Casserole recipe Larry's mom gave me years ago - just lighter. It was quite tasty! Larry had seconds!  I will definitely make this again! I've also pasted my mother-in-law's recipe below! It is buttery and very delicious!

Baked Pineapple Squares

Baked Pineapple Squares 

I cut this recipe in half and baked it in an 8x8 pan.


2 (20 ounce) cans pineapple tidbits, drained
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
2 cups sharp shredded cheddar (I used 2%.)
2 cups Ritz Cracker Crumbs (I used reduced fat.)
All natural vegetable spray (I used Parkay Spray.)

Spray 9 x 13 inch baking dish with vegetable spray. Place drained pineapple in baking dish. Mix shredded cheese, flour and sugar together. Sprinkle over pineapple. Crush Ritz crackers. Put 2 cups in bowl and spray with vegetable spray, toss and spray until crackers are coated. Sprinkle over mixture.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake 30 minutes covered with aluminum foil. Remove foil and allow crackers to brown a bit. Cool a few minutes and cut into squares. This is also "spoonable!"
Number of Servings: 12

Here's a repost of the Pineapple Casserole:

This pineapple casserole recipe was given to me by my mother-in-law many years ago. 
I make it a lot during the holiday. It's great with ham!

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...

I have formatted the recipe to conform to my usual way of posting (Y'all have been able to tell I have a format, right?;) I do like Mrs. Carter's version better, though!
