Drain the pineapple chunks from the cans and reserve 1/3 cup of the juice.

In a mixing bowl, add 1/3 cup of the reserved pineapple juice and 1/3 cup of flour, then whisk together.

Add 1 1/2 cups of white sugar to the mixture and whisk until combined. If too chunky, add a few drops of reserved pineapple juice to smooth it out.

Stir in the drained pineapple chunks into the mixture until well combined.

Butter a 7x11 casserole dish with 1 tablespoon of butter and pour the mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.

Grate 2 cups of extra sharp cheddar cheese and sprinkle it over the top of the pineapple mixture.

Crush 1 sleeve of brown butter crackers and mix with 4 tablespoons of melted butter, then sprinkle this mixture over the cheese layer.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the casserole for about 30 minutes until hot and bubbly.

Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
