I’m a little embarrassed to admit that Monday night was the first time I’d ever eaten Hawaiian Haystacks. My husband was shocked when I told him. It seems like everyone has eaten these before except for me! And probably my siblings. We never had them growing up so it’s not something I’ve ever made for myself. I was on Pinterest the other day when I came by this recipe and thought I’d give it a try for dinner Monday night. My husband and son both loved it. My little guy can be a little picky so I was especially excited when he couldn’t get enough of this. And my husband said that he liked the sauce on these better than what he had growing up. Yay! Another winning recipe discovered. I love that I can make a different Hawaiian Haystack every time with all of the different toppings options out there. This would make a great dish to feed a crowd.
