Everywhere I go I run into people who were Hizzoner's customers.   Invariably they tell me how much they miss the food, the people and the good feelings they had.  Many have asked for recipes or suggested that I do a cookbook.   So, I decided to do the best of both, hence this website.  Here you will find all the things you loved most about Hizzoner's and some of my favorites too.  Come, taste and remember.

Pineapple Au Gratin | Print |
This is one of the all time great side dishes for Holiday meals.   It's one of my favorites.   ThePineapple Au Gratin combination sounds weird but the flavor is out of this world.    It's so simple to make too and can bake along with other dishes in the oven.

This is an old recipe, it's been around for many years, and it's still a favorite at every Holiday meal.

--------       ------------      --------------------------------
   2            large cans    pineapple chunks in juice
   6            tablespoons   flour
   1           cup                brown sugar -- not packed
   2           cups             shredded cheddar cheese
   1           stick             butter -- melted
   1           sleeve          Ritz Crackers -- crushed to crumbs

1.  Drain pineapple and keep juice for other things.   Put pineapple in large bowl.

2.  In bowl with pineapple add flour, brown sugar and cheddar cheese, stir to mix well.
   ( Leave just enough juice with the pineapple so that these ingredients mush up together nicely).

3.  Put the pineapple mixture into a well buttered casserole dish.  Top with crushed Ritz Crackers and drizzle all over with the melted butter.  Here's a tip:   Put the Ritz crackers in a zip lock bag and run your rolling pin over them a couple of times.   Easy peasy.

4.  Bake in a small casserole dish  at 450 for 20 minutes.
