My mom makes THEE BEST Hawaiian haystacks. That is no exaggeration.
I’m not usually a big fan of rice or cream-of-chicken soup (you can easily make your own cream-of-chicken substitute), but this recipe is phenomenal. I devour it faster than I can serve it, and my husband often goes back for four or five helpings—no idea how he stays so slim!
Lucky for you, my mom is sharing her version today. Once you try it, you may never want to make haystacks any other way.
