Who loves pineapple? My family and I sure do. This Pineapple Casserole is a perfect side dish, especially with ham! When I spent an Easter with my husband’s family years ago, my mother-in-law introduced me to this super yummy casserole. I kept going back to the table to get another piece. It has been at many family gatherings since then and I enjoy it every time!
I lucked out and my mother-in-law just gave me a big pile of her family recipes, including easy casserole recipes like this one. I am so excited to try all of them, but I started with this side dish last night. I was making ham and thought it would be a great addition to the meal. My husband, son, and I each ate a large portion! I may have even eaten some cold from the fridge the next morning. It’s that good!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter

November 30, 2012 at 8:11 amStacey, this looks so wonderful! Kind of like a pineapple upsidedown cake, but not. I think I may need to make this on Christmas as well! Thanks!

January 26, 2013 at 8:40 amI am so excited about trying this! I think I will use Hawaiian sweet bread instead.

May 18, 2015 at 10:25 amHow did it turn out with the Hawaiian Sweet Bread? I was thinking the same thing.

May 26, 2014 at 6:20 pmI call this scalloped pineapple. Same ingredients just slightly different method – put cubes of bread in casserole dish, add and mix drained pineapple. Then mix up everything else and pour over bread and pineapple. Bake it and prepare yourself for a really delicious side dish to ham turkey or pork roast.

April 4, 2015 at 12:41 pmi use 6 Hawaiian rolls, 2 1/2 cups of drained pineapple and brown instead of white sugar. Perfection!
Gayle says
April 4, 2015 at 12:53 pmIf is use a 13 x 9 pan, how long should it cook in the oven?
toni says
April 4, 2015 at 1:00 pmCan you make this the day before and it still be yummy or should it be made the day you are serving it?

May 10, 2015 at 6:35 amMade this-love it!!! So easy to make.
Cindie says
October 13, 2015 at 10:50 amI make one similar to this, I soak the bread in milk and mix in a cup of cheddar cheese ~ my husband requests this all the time 🙂
Sherrie Massey says
June 27, 2016 at 5:02 pmSounds great but how well does the pineapple have to be drained? Do I get all the juice out with paper towels or just drain the juice from can? Can’t wait to try it
Mary says
October 14, 2018 at 9:30 amI don’t drain it and it turns out fine.
robin says
December 10, 2017 at 9:28 pmI always use at least 10 slices bread and put in round casserole dish to spoon out instead of cutting into portions.

March 31, 2018 at 8:58 amCan I make this the day before?
Aubrey Cota says
April 1, 2018 at 6:17 pmYes, this works a lot like the baked french toast recipes. Prepare the night before and refrigerate then when you’re ready follow the rest of the cooking instructions. Keep in mind you are taking it from the cold fridge so the cooking time could vary just a little.
Angela Williams says
February 12, 2019 at 11:52 amExactly like my sisters, except only 5 slices of bread (I use “647” low card Italian by Schmidt) also I do not drain the pineapple. Sprinkle with cinnamon when it comes out of the oven. It is so Delish.
Aubrey Cota says
May 27, 2019 at 3:28 pmI love that there are so many different version out there! Thank you, Angela.
