Hawaiian Haystacks

This quick and easy dinner is a family favorite. My kids love it because they can choose what to put on theirs- I love it because it's fast and everyone likes it (and ends up eating more veggies then they realize).

The important thing here is options. You don't HAVE to have all of these ingredients- and when you put them on the table it's best to let people build their own.

Base:
Rice (I prefer brown- but white works well)
'crunchy noodles' (chow mein noodles)

Create your haystack with any/all of the following:
cheese
pineapple
ham
cut up chicken
polish keilbsa
celery
tomatoes
peppers (I like red ones on mine)
olives
green onions
coconut
almonds

Top with Sweet and Sour sauce

I really need to make these! It'd be such an easy meal to accomodate the dietary restrictions at my house!

I make a gravy with cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup with the chicken added in and don't use sweet and sour sauce. Now that Michael is completely veggie I made some cream of celery soup separately and then he can add some TVP or tofu to his for protein.
