Hey everybody, I'm Bobby Dean
0:01
and I'm coming to you today with another just great recipe. It's a casserole, it's a sweet casserole
0:08
and I think that you're really gonna like it. These are all pretty straightforward, easy recipes
0:15
and a lot of people don't know this, but I used to be, when we first started out
0:20
when we first started out, I was the pot scrubber dishwasher. Then I graduated up into the dessert maker
0:28
I baked all of our desserts. So I made all of our peach cobblers. I made all of our gooey butter cakes
0:33
everything for quite a long time. So today I'm gonna share with you
0:37
a peach and pineapple casserole that I think that you're really gonna like
0:42
It's very easy. And we're gonna start with brown sugar, flour, shredded cheddar cheese, okay
0:49
And we're gonna combine those three ingredients into a bowl with a rubbed batch
0:58
and we'll just get our sugar flour mixture kind of married there
1:03
Brown sugar might have some lumps in it that need to be broken up, might, guaranteed, always
1:10
And you could use a butter cutter here, or a fork, or whatever you need to
1:15
to get those chunks out of the brown sugar, but you do want to break it up
1:19
so you don't need big chunky brown sugar in there. And this is how lots of cobbler desserts begin
1:31
And it's a two-part thing. We'll make half of it and add it to our casserole dish
1:40
And then we'll make the other half and add that and bake it off
1:47
You know, food is just, we talk about it quite a lot
1:51
But food has just got the ability to bring you back in time
1:55
It really is a time machine. Certain smells and tastes and, you know
2:01
just puts you in a certain time and place with your family around that table. And these kinds of dishes really have that effect on me
2:09
Anytime my mom makes a peach cobbler or a blackberry cobbler or something like that I just like oh my gosh I remember being in Albany when I was you know
2:21
nine, 10, 11, 12 years old and mom making these casseroles or Aunt Peggy coming over and Uncle George being there
2:28
and just, you know, food will transport you. And I love that about food
2:34
Okay, so I've mixed in our shredded cheddar. Pineapple, peach, and shredded cheddar
2:46
go together very well. A lot of people don't know that. Cheese, pears, mayonnaise
2:53
That makes a really nice combination too. I remember my mom making some hors d'oeuvres
3:00
or really dessert-y, but like pear halves with mayonnaise and cheese. Oh boy
3:08
I don't know if that's very Southern or not, but it was in our household, right next to the sweet tea
3:15
All right, so to that, I'm gonna add a can of peaches with the juice
3:22
and also pineapple chunks. Come on, come on, every last one of you
3:31
And we'll fold these all together, like so. And try not to tear everything up
3:36
I'm using a rubber spatula, as you often will whenever you're making things like this
3:42
and fold it together. You know, you just don't wanna tear up your fruit
3:49
into tiny little shreds or chunks. So we've got everything here pretty well combined
3:57
That's our flour, our brown sugar, our shredded cheddar cheese, our peaches
4:04
and our pineapple. We're off to a great start. Now I'm gonna go ahead and add this to our casserole dish
4:12
which I've sprayed lightly, just to make sure that we don't have anything sticking
4:18
Right into the dish. And then we'll just spread it out so everything's even
4:25
I gonna bring this over here to you This works right out so everything even Waste not want not mom always said And in the restaurant business
4:34
you don't let anything go to waste. My mom used to, oh boy
4:39
You could feel those eyes looking over your shoulder when you were cutting a tomato
4:42
or especially something like a bell pepper, you know, where you got the stem on the top
4:48
Buddy, you better get as close to that stem as you can
4:53
and make sure that there's no green or red left on that pepper. You throw something in the trash
4:58
my mama is going to go look in that trash can and see exactly what you threw away
5:02
All right, now some of these peach halves are really big, so I'm just going to sort of cut them with my spatch
5:10
and spread them out a little bit. Yeah, so they're not too big
5:15
You want to be able to take, you know, bites of it
5:19
There we go. That looks nice. Make sure it's married in with that pineapple
5:26
And look, this already looks really good, doesn't it? So what's this recipe missing, you might ask
5:35
And I'm glad that you asked. Because this recipe is missing butter
5:47
Okay. Our reserved pineapple juice. It's going to be sweet and delicious
6:01
And also our bread crumbs. This would be just really crumbled up crackers, you know
6:11
There's a certain buttery cracker out there that most people like to use
6:15
that we're all familiar with. And just put it into one of those zipper bags
6:21
one of those plastic bags, your crackers. Just put them in there and just pound them with your hand
6:26
or a little mallet and get them broken up. Okay. So the first part of our dish, the brown sugar, the flour
6:36
the peaches the pineapples the shredded cheddar cheese We going to add in the second part of our dish which is the butter the reserved pineapple juice and our crackers
6:52
Just pour that right over the top. Now this is gonna be that beautiful brown
7:01
topping on our casserole. And you might think that this recipe
7:12
looks super extra fantastic. And there's a reason for that. Because this recipe comes from the book
7:22
Y'all Come Eat by the Dean Brothers, of which I am one
7:27
So, into the oven for about 30 minutes. So we'll see you back
7:35
Our peach and pineapple casserole has come out of the oven. It's piping hot and it smells so wonderful
7:44
It's ready to serve and the only thing missing maybe, a little bit of ice cream
7:48
but you don't have to have ice cream. The cobbler alone is gonna be super satisfying
7:55
Gosh, oh, gosh. Piping hot. Might be too hot to taste. Let's see
8:06
See if they can see the smoke. Beautiful. Mm
8:17
Mm. Mm. So rich and buttery and wonderful. It's great as is, beyond great
8:29
As is, a little ice cream would take it over the top. This is a beautiful pineapple peach casserole
8:36
You, your family, and friends are going to love it. So enjoy. See you next time. Hey, y'all, it's Paula Deen
