cuz'n kelly's yummy pineapple cheese casserole
My cousin made this for Christmas with ham....I fell in love with it & have been craving it ever since. We southerners sure love our pineapple dishes. From sweet to savory & everywhere in between, we enjoy it in a multitude of dishes & this is one of the oldest. Another one of those tasty dishes that doesn't really photograph all that pretty & at first glance, certainly seems an unlikely & odd combination of ingredients to pair together. It is intended to be a side dish, & not a dessert. But I sure could eat it as a dessert!!!! Oh yum!!!!
