Pineapple Casserole

Cultural Context

Pineapple casserole is a classic Southern dish, often served as a side at family gatherings and potlucks. Its sweet and savory combination of pineapple and cheese reflects the region's love for bold flavors and comfort food. While traditionally made with sharp cheddar, variations exist, incorporating different cheeses or toppings. Today, this dish continues to be a beloved staple at many tables across the United States.
