Pineapple Casserole

Serves 8

Ingredients

• 1 (20 oz.) can pineapple chunks
• 1 (20 oz.) can pineapple crushed
• 2 (20 oz.) cans pineapple tidbits
• 4¾ cups sugar
• 4 tbsp. self-rising flour
• 4 eggs
• 1 loaf sandwich bread
• 4 sticks butter, melted
• cinnamon sugar (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Open pineapple cans and drain liquid. Place drained pineapple into a mixing bowl and drain a second time, pressing out all additional liquid. Set aside.
2. In a second bowl, mix together sugar, flour, and eggs until it makes a thick paste. Add to pineapple and stir to coat. Pour the mixture into a casserole dish.
3. In another bowl, tear bread into cube-like pieces (I typically use almost the entire loaf). Pour 3/4 of the butter over the bread, stir to coat, and place over the top of the pineapple (Hint: place bread crust up to create a beautiful buttery crust). Pour remaining butter evenly over the top of the bread. Cook 30-35 minutes.
4. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top for an extra yummy treat!
