Hawaiian Haystacks

There isn't really a "recipe" per say for Hawaiian Haystacks except for the sauce, the rest is up to you as long as you keep it Hawaiian that is.  I get lots of compliments on my sauce and people ask for the recipe often.  It just makes me laugh because I can't take credit for it.  You will see when you read it.

Chicken Cream Sauce:
- 2 cans Campbell's Cream of Chicken soup
- 1 can of milk
- 1 can Kirkland Signature  premium chunk chicken breast (we just LOVE this chicken)

Stir together in a pot as you warm it on the stove.  Done!

 Prepare a pot of rice as your base.  I always use our rice cooker which is super easy as well.

Toppings:
First are the must haves or it just can't be called Hawaiian,
- tidbit pineapple chunks, I prefer this size
- shredded coconut

Other Typical Toppings:
- shredded cheese
- sliced almonds
- diced onions, white and green
- diced peppers
- diced tomatoes
- sliced mushrooms
- black olives
- diced celery

Other things we have tried that we have liked:
- Chow Mein Noodles
- chickpeas aka garbanzo beans
- kidney beans

Now you build it how you like it.  My husband loves it when I make meals like this.

-Put the rice on your plate or bowl first, add the sauce, and put on any toppings that you would like.

If I am in the mood for this I always check that I have the essentials first or I won't make it.  The rice, sauce, pineapple and coconut.  Whatever else I put out is whatever I have in the fridge and cupboard at the time.  Always turns out great!

Rewarming Rice

If you hate left over rice because it is always too dry...
I have found a solution.

Tip:

Keep the rice in the ziplock bag you used to store it in while you microwave it.

This keeps the moisture in and you can finally enjoy moist left over rice.
