How to Store & Reheat Pineapple Casserole
- Fridge: Let the casserole cool completely, then cover tightly or transfer to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freezer: You can freeze pineapple casserole for up to 3 months. Just know the topping will turn soggy after thawing and reheating.
- Reheating: Warm in the oven at 350°F until heated through. For single servings, the microwave works too. If it looks dry, drizzle a little melted butter over the top before serving.
