Hawaiian Haystacks

I was first introduced to Hawaiian Haystacks in my early 20s in Chico, California. Greg's family also enjoys them. We played with a few different sauces until we found this recipe in 101 Things to do with a Slowcooker. This is our family favorite now! Everyone loves it because they can individualize their servings.

2 Cans Canned chicken, cubed
1 Cup Chicken broth
2 Cans Condensed cream of chicken soup
12 Ounces Evaporated milk
6 Cups Cooked rice

1. Place chicken in greased 3.5 to 5 quart slow cooker. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over chicken. Cook on high heat 3 to 4 hours or on low heat 6 to 8 hours. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

2. Serve over hot rice with a variety of cold toppings that could include grated cheese, peas, pineapple tidbits, shredded coconut, Chinese noodles, sunflower seeds, mushrooms, olives, sliced green peppers, green onion, celery, diced tomatoes, etc.

i'm gonna try this one.
In the dorms, they served Haystacks, and no one ever explained it to me. i just didn't get it. Rice with TOTALLY random toppings?!
But this sounds like it makes sense, and sounds tasty!
Thanks a TON for your link!!!
