Hawaiian Haystacks

I remember this from my youth.  It's a nice way to get all the food groups in one meal.  I've fed it to the missionaries and tonight I'm serving it to my bunco group.  Wonderful way to feed the masses!

Rice

Chicken gravy (cream of chicken soup diluted with milk or chicken broth to desired consistency)

Cubed chicken 

Cubed ham

Chopped celery

Chopped green onions

Chopped tomatoes

Slivered almonds

Maraschino cherries

Crushed pineapple

Shredded coconut

Chow mein noodles

Shredded cheese

Just lay it all out like a taco bar.  Typically, it is gravy over the rice and then whatever toppings people want.  

Variations and hints:

*Use any chicken gravy recipe you have.  

*Of course, you can customize the list of toppings to your liking. (Don't knock the cherries til you try it!)

*It's easy to make this vegetarian.  Omit the meat and use cream of mushroom soup or any other gravy recipe you have.
