I make this one all the time, probably 40 times, at least. For pot lucks, parties, Christmas, Thanksgiving, school functions. I always get tons of compliments on this recipe. I've learned to use more butter when making the crust, it comes together better with more butter. I also use twice the amount of pinapple. When I put the cherries on top, I set them out on a paper towel first and kind of dap the juice out a bit so that the juice doesn't turn the whip topping red. This is my favorite dessert to make.

I made this in my crockpot. I didn't have tomatoes or onions, so I added some onion powder and added a can (8 oz.) of tomato sauce. I used the full 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar which mixed with the tomato sauce and had a great flavor. My kids even liked the grown-up taste.
