Casseroles are classic, and this easy ham pineapple casserole will be one of your EPICs in your casserole collection! Honestly, I had no idea that when I posted pictures of this casserole that I would get so much traffic, comments, likes and just sheer giddiness about a recipe!
I love this recipe because...
What is it about this simple ham pineapple casserole that makes it so popular? Well, for starters, I think the fact that it's got delicious pineapple tidbits in it. I mean usually ham casseroles come with noodles or potatoes, but I've gone the somewhat 'sweet' route to offset the savory of this recipe. Another thing about this recipe, well, it's made in a non-traditional 'casserole dish'. Actually, it's not a dish at all but a cast iron skillet. OMG, mention a cast iron skillet and it opens the flood gates for sweet memories of families, cooking, grandmothers, wonderful food, gatherings, dinners and more.
This recipe is perfect for the holidays when you may have cooked a big ham and have leftovers. But, if that's not the case, not to worry. You can have this casserole at anytime of the year because all you have to do is buy a ham steak and you're in business! xoxo ~ally

Notes
Be sure to let the casserole 'rest' about 15 minutes before digging into it. And, if the juices run, well, then that's just added bonus for yumminess!
Serve with just fresh greens and cucumbers.
