This is one of my "back pocket" recipes for a quick and tasty party dip. I've had people ask me if it is chicken salad, because the pineapple adds a texture that is similar to shredded chicken, and the savory ingredients mask the pineapple flavor. It's perfect for a little bite before a meal or a satisfying afternoon snack on your favorite crackers. If you like, you can sneak in some vegetables, and serve it on celery sticks, or those little tri-color mini bell peppers, cut in half.

- 2 packages cream cheese , 8 ounce
- 1 can canned crushed pineapple , 8 ounce

My Australian husband first made this recipe for Aussie works burgers a few weeks after arriving in the USA. The burgers became a hit with our family. They're a bit messy but delicious. Hunger-busting burgers topped with every topping imaginable. Wrap your laughing gear around that. Stretch! Crikey! It's a meal in one go.
