This Hawaiian-inspired haystack bar is a build-your-own bowl dinner the whole table will love. Fluffy rice topped with savory brown gravy serves as the base, then a spread of toppings—seasoned ground beef or crispy roasted chickpeas, juicy pineapple, mandarin orange, tomatoes, celery, scallions, shredded cheddar, toasted coconut, and crispy fried onions—gets drizzled with a sweet soy glaze for a tropical, sweet-savory finish.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Cook Beef & Prep
1
  • While rice cooks, pat ground beef dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Heat a large drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, wash and dry produce.

  • Halve tomatoes. Trim and thinly slice scallions. Slice celery into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Peel oranges and cut wedges into bite-size pieces. Drain pineapple. TIP: If you added any other items to your meal (apps, sides, and/or dessert), you can get started on them now!

Roast Chickpeas & Prep
2
  • While rice cooks, drain and rinse chickpeas. Toss on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and crispy, 18-20 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, wash and dry produce.

  • Halve tomatoes. Trim and thinly slice scallions. Slice celery into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Peel oranges and cut wedges into bite-size pieces. Drain pineapple. TIP: If you added any other items to your meal (apps, sides, and/or dessert), you can get started on them now!

Finish & Serve
3
