Hawaiian Haystacks (Chinese Sundaes)

Well yesterday for our MEATLESS MONDAY we had hawaiian haystacks.

On your plate first you place chinese crunchy noodles.  Then cooked rice.  Then whatever toppings you want such as...olives, pineapple, green onions, celery, raisins, coconut, grated yellow or colby jack cheese, tomatoes, slivered or sliced almonds, etc...

I left the chicken out for my meatless monday.  But normally I add boiled chicken.  You can either cube it and have it in a little bowl for people to add on or you can mix the cooked cubes into the gravy.  You will use less chicken if you mix it into the gravy, otherwise people pile it on. But it depends...If you think you might have left over chicken then you might want to leave it on the side so you could add it in a casserole or something.  It's harder to reuse it once it's in the gravy and I have a harder time throwing out chicken than I do 33 Cent gravy.  It's up to you!!!

Top with gravy.  Either packaged chicken gravy (you know the ones that are 3 for $1) or cream of chicken soup mixed with 1 C. of milk.  For my family of 6 I need 3 of the packages for 1 meal or 2 cans of soup.

Don't worry about having all of the ingredients...just go with whatever you have.  My kids like to microwave theirs once it is on the plate to melt the cheese.  Of course then they have to put it in the freezer to cool it down...SILLY KIDS!!!

I always make double the rice so I can make ham fried rice later in the week....YUM!!!
