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 a squash casserole 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!

Rachel @ I Love My Disorganized Life says
Stacey, 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!

Kim says
I am so excited about trying this! I think I will use Hawaiian sweet bread instead.
Stacey says
Kim, I think Hawaiian sweet bread would be amazing. Yummy! Great idea!
Tanya says
How did it turn out with the Hawaiian Sweet Bread? I was thinking the same thing.
Diana Pope says

Faith H says
With Easter coming up, I think this would be a great addition to the ham we have every year. Thanks.

I think so too Faith. Thanks!
B J Newton says
I 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.

He too!
Kathi says
i use 6 Hawaiian rolls, 2 1/2 cups of drained pineapple and brown instead of white sugar. Perfection!
Gayle says
If is use a 13 x 9 pan, how long should it cook in the oven?
toni says
Can you make this the day before and it still be yummy or should it be made the day you are serving it?
Nancy Sweet says
Made this-love it!!! So easy to make.
Cindie says
I 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
Sounds 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
I don’t drain it and it turns out fine.
robin says
I always use at least 10 slices bread and put in round casserole dish to spoon out instead of cutting into portions.

Gail Ferrence says
Can I make this the day before?
Aubrey Cota says
Yes, 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
Exactly 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
I love that there are so many different version out there! Thank you, Angela.
Darlene says
Been making this recipe for the last 40 years and its always a big hit.
Aubrey Cota says
So cool! It’s become my best friends new favorite, she requests it way too often. 🙂
Robin CRABEL says
Can this be made aheaf & frozen?
Aubrey Cota says
Honestly, I’ve never tried that. I’m sure if you cooked and made sure to let it cool completely and store in an airtight container it shouldn’t be a problem, especially when you reheat it should become mushy I don’t think.
Angela says
Can it be made with less sugar?
