Hawaiian Haystacks

*If you have your chicken pre-canned an easy meal becomes a cinch, perfect for busy mamas!

Chicken Gravy:

1lb, 1 Pint with broth, or 2 Cups Chopped Chicken

2-10.75oz Cans Cream of Chicken Soup

1 Cup Sour Cream

2 Cups Milk

Dash of Garlic Powder if desired

Dash of Pepper if desired

If using uncooked chicken, combine the chicken, cream of chicken soup, milk, sour cream and spices. Cook until chicken is tender and the sauce screams, "Irresistable" when you open the lid for a peek. If you are using canned chicken it is even more simple; toss it all in a pot and heat it until it is bubbly good.

Cook enough rice for your family.

When cooking white rice, remember the 1+2=3 rule. One cup of rice plus two cups of water equals three cups of rice. I plan on 1-1 1/2 cups of cooked rice for each family member.

While the rice is cooking, shred the cheese and set out your choice of toppings smorgasbordstyle. When the rice is done allow each family member to build their own Haystack. Rice, gravy, and then toppings...lots of toppings!

I like to make a double batch on the sauce and then freeze it for next time!
