There are dishes that feed the body—and then there are dishes that feed the soul. Pineapple Bake is one of those rare recipes that does both. With its golden crust, tender pineapple center, and perfect balance of sweet and savory, it’s the kind of dish that sparks memories: holiday tables groaning under the weight of comfort food, laughter echoing through the kitchen, and the quiet joy of sneaking “just one more spoonful” when no one’s looking.
It’s not quite dessert, not quite a side—but somehow, it belongs everywhere. And once you taste it, you’ll understand why this humble casserole has been passed down through generations.
