My family enjoyed this dish at a church ham supper, so I asked for the recipe. I've made it for many covered-dish meals since and have received many compliments. It really is delicious.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
8 eggs
2 cans (20 ounces each) crushed pineapple, drained
3 tablespoons lemon juice
10 slices day-old white bread, cubed

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in pineapple and lemon juice. Fold in bread cubes.
Pour into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Has anyone ever put crushed walnuts in their stuffing? Making this for the first and thought walnuts would be a good addition. Any thoughts or previous failures?

My whole family loves this casserole! It is so much easier to make than the pineapple casserole I'd been making for almost 30 years!

Made it for Easter and everyone raved about it and wanted the recipe. It took almost an hour to bake but was so easy to make. I used sliced Italian bread.

This is a delicious casserole to accompany Easter ham dinner. I made one change, I use pineapple chunks instead of crushed pineapple. Everyone loves it.

So simple to make, yet it's flavor is sooo awesome! We have this every holiday and it is absolutely delicious. Not too sweet and goes splendidly with baked ham, roast turkey, Roast beef, etc. You could stuff a turkey with this or make it as shown as a separate casserole. This recipe took everyone in our family by surprise. If you enjoy stuffing-type dishes, you should love this one.

I was looking for something different to take to a family reunion and come across this recipe; tried it out first and it was a hit with my in-laws; only had a little left over from the reunion. Only modification I made was cutting the sugar in half, 2 cups seemed way too much, using 1 cup was sweet enough. Delicious, easy to make and will definitely make it again!

I've been making this dish for years. Good with ham, pork roast and also burgers. Big family here and all like it. Always have to make two dishes to have enough.
