Notes

If possible, use freshly shredded cheese. It has a better taste and melts better.

You can substitute pineapple tidbits with pineapple chunks or even crushed pineapple.

Check the casserole after 20 minutes of baking. If you notice the cracker crumbs browning too fast, you can cover the dish with aluminum foil.
