Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
4. Bake in the preheated oven until the mixture is bubbling, about 30 minutes.
5. Remove from oven, and take off the aluminum foil.
6. Mix in the pineapple chunks and cornstarch until thoroughly combined, and return to the oven until slightly thickened, about 10 more minutes.
