PAULA DEEN'S PINEAPPLE CASSEROLE RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a medium-sized casserole dish with butter. In a large bowl, stir together the sugar and flour and a dash of salt. Add the cheese and stir it into the sugar/flour mix. Add the drained pineapple chunks and stir until well-combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish. In another bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, melted butter, and the 6 tablespoons of pineapple juice that you kept when you drained the pineapples. Stir together. Spread the crumb mixture evenly over the top of the pineapple mixture. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Notes: To make gluten free, instead of using flour, mix three tablespoons of cornstarch with a half a cup of pineapple juice and mix with sugar; replace Ritz cracker crumbs with crushed Rice Krispies and a dash of salt.

KENTUCKY COLONEL BARBECUE PORK CHOPS (PAULA DEEN)

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except for the pork chops and bring to a rolling boil. Remove from the heat and cool. Refrigerate sauce overnight to blend flavors.
• Heat a grill to medium-high heat.
• Apply sauce to chops with dish mop or paint brush. Grill to desired doneness, about 5-8 minutes per side for medium-well. Baste with sauce each time they are turned.
• Chef's Note: Please note--this is not what you might call a sauce or a glaze--it is a "mop". It is thin, but it packs a ton of flavor.
