AMISH HAYSTACKS

I was looking at some of my recipe books last night and I found this in one of my Amish cookbooks. I haven't made this but it sounded very interesting. I'm planning to try it in the next week or so. The book says is not only delicious but very filling. I hope you like it.

AMISH HAYSTACK DINNER



Amish Haystack Dinner image

Based on a prize winner from Newman's The Hole in the Wall Gang Cookbook. This is a big hit with large groups of teenagers. Since it's "build your own haystack" there's something for everyone. Serve with dinner rolls for the unadventurous who would rather have a sloppy joe and salad. I also serve with bottled Italian salad dressing for those who want a "wetter" haystack.
