Mel's Kitchen Cafe Hawaiian Haystacks
Made a huge batch of this for the missionaries (should have made more) but it turned out super tasty. No cream of chicken. I subbed the flour for corn starch and just add a bit less. I thought it looked pale but it went great with all our toppings including B's beloved pineapple and whipped topping.
