Hawaiian Haystacks were a staple at our house growing up. Warm, sticky rice covered with creamy chicken sauce topped with what felt like a million different toppings. With ten kids in our family, it was a constant battle for my mom to find something we would all eat without complaining. But Hawaiian haystacks are so versatile with such a variety of topping options that no one complained on haystack night! These Hawaiian haystacks with ranch are a slightly elevated version of the loved dish I grew up eating!
The thing that makes these haystacks shine is the toppings! You can customize these haystacks with literally any toppings you want. Some of our favorites are cheese, pineapple tidbits, sliced olives, diced green onion, chopped celery, shredded coconut, slice almonds, diced fresh mushroom, Chow mein noodles, diced tomatoes, mandarin oranges, or soy sauce.
