Hawaiian Haystacks


Hawaiian Haystacks: Savory Sweet and Satisfying

When I made this dinner I placed all of the ingredients into bowls and let everyone make their own. That way everyone could customize it to their liking, adding as much or as little of the toppings as they liked. My husband and I added in all of the toppings and loved it.
