THE BEST CROCK POT HAWAIIAN HAYSTACKS

Hawaiian haystacks are the best, and my boys favorite dinner.  It is hard to find a meal that all my kids like and this is one of them.

Pile it on – The Best Hawaiian Haystacks

The base of Hawaiian haystacks is a pile of rice and a delicious creamy gravy, then you pile on toppings to your hearts desire. We like cheese, onions, slivered almonds, mandarin oranges, crunchy chew mien noodles and green bell peppers.  This is the easiest dinner you can image.  Just 4 ingredients in the crock pot.

Don’t you just love a crock pot?  Just set it and forget it.

Let the crock pot do it’s job for 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low.  When it’s ready, shred the chicken and that’s it.  To make things even easier, I use my food processor to shred my chicken.

Great for a week night dinner or to feed a crowd.

This is a great meal for any night of the week but it is also great when you need to feed a crowd.  You can put out the toppings and your crowd can customize their haystack just the way they like it.
