Today I'm cooking fun style recipes! Haystacks for Dinner and Breakfast! These are Amish & Mennonite style recipes that I hope you enjoy! We love them!
Haystacks For Dinner:
This is the order you can put it on your plate:
Rice : Use whatever you prefer.
Hamburger Chili Sauce:
1 lb hamburger. A little bit of chopped onion. 1 1/2 pk taco seasoning. 1 tsp. chili powder. 1 1/2 cup chili beans. 6 oz. tomato juice (3/4 cup) .
Brown the hamburger and onion. add seasonings and then the rest of the ingredients. It should be a bit 'soupy'.
Doritos or Crushed crackers
lettuce
tomatoes
sour cream
Cheese sauce : 1 stick of butter , melt that then add 1/3 to 1/2 cup of flour and stir until it's smooth. then slowly add milk into that, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn. After it’s smooth add velveeta cheese or similar until it’s cheesy enough!

Hi Lynette,
The Haystacks we make are from our church. We start with either Fritos or any corn chip, then we add bean chili or refried beans, then add grated cheddar cheese, then a handful of shredded ice burg lettuce or any greens you like, topped off with sour cream, salsa, chopped tomatoes, black olives, chopped onions or chopped green onions, chopped Avocado or Guacamole, then you might add:
Ranch dressing or thousand Island dressing. It is so delicious!! The lady that started the Haystack used Fritos corn chips. It was over 70+ years ago. I love putting Spanish rice on mine, but I rarely have the chance to do so. I also put ketchup on mine too but no one has to, this is just what some people do. It's the shredded lettuce that gives it the Haystack look. Thank you for your recipe too! 💐👍
Those haystacks look DELISH! One thing I like is a western omelet, so some fried onion, pepper and mushroom sprinkled over the top of the egg and then topped with the cheese sauce and bacon would put me in a haystack coma. :) Thank you for the recipes!
I grew up in Indiana and we called a Haystack a cookie that was no-bake. Made with either oats and chocolate, sugar and butter or pretzels, or even Chinese crunchy noodles that come in a can. I have had something very similar to breakfast haystacks but we just called it a hashbrown bowl.
Lynette, I always enjoy watching your videos SO much!! I'm a 60-something Christian woman from Columbus, OH who always enjoys visiting Holmes county and other places in Ohio where you can shop for Amish goods. You're family is beautiful and your videos are so well done. Most of all, I enjoy your cooking videos and hearing you and Nick talk about your Christian faith. I feel so blessed to have stumbled across your channel and plan to keep watching it for as long as you keep doing these videos. Your style is so unpretentious, down-to-earth, and accessible - it's like chatting with a friend over coffee at my kitchen table. And that's gone a long way to helping me feel less isolated in these work-from-home crazy times we live in. Many blessings to you and your family! 🧡
My family does fritos crushed, ground turkey, black beans, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and guacamole.
Us too we love fritos in ours!!
What kind of seasonings do you use in the ground turkey?
@@ericad3850 I use Ortega Taco Seasoning Mix
me and the boys are drooling over here. lol the first one looks like eggs Benedict when its all done thank you for the new recipes
I thought it was Hollandaise sauce too. Bet it would be a delicious version.
I grew up Apostolic Christian and we had haystacks all the time. It was a family favorite. So fun to see you sharing this, I had no idea it was part of Amish culture too. No one ever knows what I am talking about outside the AC culture I grew up in. Thank you for sharing this!
I have heard of haystacks! But we do our with white rice, chicken in a gravy, top with pineapple, peas, chopped peppers and onions, cheese and chow main noodles. Delicious!👍
Yep! That's how I grew up eating them. We called them Hawaiin haystacks. So yummy!
I am a vegetarian seventh day Adventist and haystacks are quite popular among our denomination. So yummy!! We do corn chips on the bottom with a chili or pinto bean ( no meat), sometimes rice and then add the fixings.
Actually ate them last night for dinner 🍴
My mother always made this dish where we put crumbled cornbread, pinto beans with ham bits, fried potatoes, shreddedcheese, onions, tomatoes and sour cream. We lived it and I still make it. What you make with the rice is something I make for what us now called rice bowls. Live live love them.
Hi Lynn, I made Haystacks the last 40 years. They are very similar to yours but the base is crushed Fritos or Doritos. Never used rice but I bet it’s delicious. I also added onions diced in a bowl and sliced black olives. Your cheese sauce looks yummy, I just used shredded sharp, Colby or Colby jack. Thanks for the 2 different ways to make haystacks. Love the breakfast one!
I have had haystacks......my bestie lives in Northern Indiana. Her parents were Amish so she has been eating them practically all her life. Yummy !!
I had a haystack supper for the first time at the Bird in Hand Fire Company’s Carriage and Antique Auction in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It was made by Amish ladies and they had every kind of “fixins” imaginable put out on that long, long table, like hard boiled eggs, celery, beets, peas, all cut up fine. The nachos were the first layer. I am a vegetarian so I didn’t put the meat on but it was the most delicious meal I ever had in my life. What a treat! I’ll never forget how good that was!
I loved seeing your son pop over by the stove.. My kids are always curious of the smells over the stove. Cooking at home Builds such good memories. Thank you for sharing your videos. Im sure your kids will enjoy seeing them when they get older. ☺️
I'm from Central Indiana. The Amish around here use spaghetti noodles for the base. I've had them and they are good
I have a bunch of romaine lettuce that I thought I was going to have to throw out, but when I looked, half of it is still good and can be salvaged! I am making this for dinner tonight! Thank you for the inspiration! :)
My Grandmother lived near a large Amish community so, I am exceptionally familiar with haystacks. They are amazing and I am going to have to make them for my wife and kids when I get home.
Yes! We do Hawaiian Haystacks, rice, chicken, sweet and sour sauce, pineapple, mandarin oranges, green onions, peas, bell pepper, sliced almonds, coconut, etc. super good!
I grew up on haystacks and we still eat them all the time. It’s popular in our church too for Sabbath potluck or large group gatherings (Seventh-Day Adventist). Since many are vegetarian, we use chili beans or homemade beans instead of meat. Frito chips or Doritos cheese chips are how we start. I’ve also had rice before as a base with black beans and and olive oil and lemon juice dressing. All the same toppings. We love it! I was very excited to see this video, most people don’t know what haystacks are when I say the name either, haha.
We also add olives, guacamole, onion, and my family always used ranch dressing instead of sour cream.
YES! I have heard of this recipe in Ohio (still live in Ohio for over 10+ years now). I am so glad you are making this I want to try this for myself and family!
We have sort of the same tradition among German Baptist, we call them straw hats! It's Fritos, hamburger/bean mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream and then misc. sauces ( ketchup, taco sauce, ranch)! So yummy! Want to try your version too! 😊
I've never seen anyone turn their cutting board to the other side. So smart!
Those recipes are absolutely my love language!
We make Hawaiian Haystacks. White rice, shredded chicken, coconut flakes, pineapple tidbits, slivered almonds, chopped celery, chopped bell pepper, tomatoes, shredded cheddar, those crunchy chow mein noodles, and the gravy is cream of chicken soup mixed with chicken broth. There are a lot of ingredient variations, but that's what we use.
I was raised a seventh day Adventist and we would have haystacks but with Fritos and no rice they are yummy!
We made hay stacks with chicken, rice, pineapple and 10 other things for my bridal shower. It was so good and so fun.
Your husband is a happy man! The way to a man's heart... Love the recipes.
My sister in law makes haystacks. She was raised German Baptist. The recipe she makes is on the sweeter side. It includes baked beans in the beef mixture and is served over fritos with shredded cheese, veggies and sour cream as the toppings.
In Minnesota, Haystacks are made by melting peanut butter, butterscotch chips and milk chocolate chips and then mixing this with chow mein noodles. Spoon onto waxed paper and chill. Yours look great too! Thanks for sharing!
I came up with a breakfast hay stack type of thing a few years ago. My family loves It. I just do it a little different and I know that there are TONS of versions of this. Just like sausage gravy. Everyone has their own thing. With mine. I start with super crispy hash browns in clearified butter, or baked tater tots. It just depends on what I have time for. I make my sausage gravy, what we call "cheesy eggs" and layer it all together with a side of bacon. I feel like with breakfasts like these, it's perfect for everyone. Like you said, it's meant to feed a crowd AND it's super easy! You can layer everything or pick and choose what you like. My son tends to be a little picky when it comes to certain things. So I love these kinds of meals where you assemble before serving. I also do a burrito bowl type stack, but the taco/chili stack reminds me more of the taco pizza I make. Doritos included, we prefer cool ranch. I don't do cheese sauce though. I'm definitely going to have to try that next time because it'd be a hit at my house. Another great trick I do for meals like this. Because I have a picky-ish eater is, making salsas. Fruit & veggie salsas are ridiculously easy to make. They're fresh, can be served with a variety of different meals and it can include anything you like.
Haystacks are a favorite!
I grew up eating haystacks.... usually for Sunday lunch. ☺️
I made the breakfast haystacks this morning. My son-in-law and grandson stopped by in time to have some! We all agreed they were yummy!
Living in a Amish community we have lots of haystack benefits very good they use rice,cracker crumbs,peppers,tomatoes,onions,black olvies,lettuce,cheese sauce and of course the meat
We do a version with rice, a chicken gravy sauce and load it with a variety of vegetables and fruit. (Carrots, celery, peppers, tomatoes and olives, pineapple, maraschino cherries with cheese and coconut. Thanks for this new idea.
This makes me want to make haystacks! I’m a Mennonite from Lancaster Pennsylvania we do our hay stack a little different I found it fascinating how you do yours. We do mashed potatoes instead of rice, baked beans, plain ground beef, no sour cream and corn chips instead of Doritos.
Haystacks are a staple/favorite amongst Seventh-day Adventists, especially in Canada and USA. Grew up eating them at schools, church potlucks, etc. 😋
I absolutely love haystacks. Breakfast style is my favorite.
Growing up we made haystacks with Fritos, chili, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, olives, sour cream and salsa. It is so true that they can get big very quickly. I now add sliced avocado and instead of sour cream and salsa I use a little thousand island dressing. 😋😋😋😋😋
We do a Hawaiian haystack. Cooked Rice, cream of chicken soup with cooked chicken and broth in it, chow mein noodles, celery, tomatoes, green peppers, black olives, pineapple chunks or tidbits, coconut, slivered almonds, shredded cheese, sometimes Mandarin oranges. It sounds a bit crazy coconut and almonds but it’s really good.
I hope you’ll try it. I will be trying your breakfast haystacks for sure. Biscuits and homemade sausage gravy are my favorites for breakfast usually with hash browns too.
Haystacks for us in South Alabama are chinese noodles and butterscotch chips. Melt the chips and add the noodles and maybe some pnuts and spoon onto parchment paper and let set up. I make these mostly at Christmas time. What Amish cookbooks do you have and recommend? I collect cookbooks and would love to have some Amish ones!! We call the breakfast one a Breakfast bowl. So yummy!
Our family LOVES haystacks; however, I make the spanish rice instead and I replace the cheese sauce with shredded cheese. In addition, I also use the bite size Tostitos, chopped up green onions, cucumbers, red peppers and black olives.
PS. I enjoy your channel....thanks for sharing your family with us!
Aussie here. We make the same thing vegetarian with a black bean base and with shredded tasty cheese instead of the sauce. Other things you can add are chopped red capsicum and sweet corn and avocado.
I would add salsa and avocados to both dinner and breakfast haystacks! Lol
we love haystacks... also known as taco salad! 😉 I might make the breakfast ones this weekend! Be perfect for the crowd I’m havin!!
Where I am from the breakfast haystack is called a breakfast bowl. Haystacks for us is a sweet treat we make at Christmas time.
The breakfast haystacks look amazing! I'm drooling.
Looks delicious! It’s one of my husbands favorite meals. And I don’t make it as often as I should either. There’s another version that I’ve enjoyed for ladies lunches etc. called and a Hawaiian haystack where you do grilled chicken breast diced Over rice with cheese toasted almonds, some people add pineapple tidbits and cover it with a Home made sweet-and-sour Dressing. That one is probably one of my favorites.
We make stack able- chill, chop onion,olives, coconut, pecans and rices,graded cheese, cop tomatoes and lettuce and picance sauce
My mom made haystacks quite a bit growing up, but we never had the breakfast ones! They look ridiculously good!😋
I find American food a bit confusing but intriguing.
I’m in scotland so to us biscuits are what you call cookies, hash browns to us are like a grated potato cake, “hamburger” to us is minced beef.
I love the idea of cheese sauce with bacon and hash browns and will have to try it🤗.
When I was pregnant with my eldest I craved home made onion rings and chips (French fries) smothered in cheese sauce.
I had to have it every day or I’d become very grumpy lol.
My daughter is 33 now and loves my strange concoction too.
I also adored apple fritters (sliced apple rings in batter) covered in condensed milk.
How I never gained weight throughout my 3 pregnancies is beyond me lol
Thank you for sharing your recipes with us 🤗💕🏴
Freya Llargans wald your mince is what we call ground beef or hamburger meat.
I grew up and still in Amish/Mennonite country, but I've never had the haystacks, but they look like a walking taco with rice. They look delicious.
I love haystacks. I’m not Mennonite or Amish. I’m a Seventh-day Adventist. I grew up eating haystacks at church potlucks.
Yes my sister Im glad you commented cause I was going to !!!
I grew up eating hay stacks with fritos mostly vegetarian hay stacks
Yum! Oh my gosh, this will definitely be a cheat meal, but so worth it! Thank you again Lynette 👏🏻🎉
I’m fixing the breakfast one for supper tomorrow night for supper with a waffle on the side. Yumm. They both look awesome!!
A lady at the church I grew up in made haystacks with the crunchy Chinese noodles mixed in with a peanut butter mixture dipped in caramel flavored bakers chocolate. I loved them! The breakfast haystacks you made here looked so good!!😋🤩
SDAs have a vegetarian haystacks...very popular for potlucks. It's a mexican style layered salad. It is a real crowd pleaser.
I definitely have done that before for breakfast and didn't realize it would be called a 'haystack' now i want it again
Reminds of tacos the next day where your out of shells and you serve the rest over rice or as a salad looks delicious
Wow! The breakfast haystack looks so decadent and tasty.
I love coming To this channel, it’s peaceful here
I love haystacks! We first had them at an Amish bed and breakfast in Ohio years ago and are now part of our menu rotation at least twice a year and We make for our church potlucks a few times a year. So glad for this video, I will try the breakfast haystacks as they look so delicious! Thanks for sharing.
i've never made haystacks, but all the toppings are what was used for burritos, tostadas, etc in the 70s: spicy seasoned meat, beans, cheese sauce and/or shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato, and sour cream.
i'm going to try it over rice soon.
i have celiac disease and make cheese sauce with sweet rice flour/mochiko as a great sub for white (wheat) flour with the same proportions in cheese sauce. works great.
YUM! Drooling on my keyboard here!
We live in northern Indiana, and many groups use Haystack dinners as fund raisers.
I grew up eating the dinner haystacks.. especially when there’s a big gathering..my aunt Mary still makes it when we go back to Ohio to visit and the family gets together. Amish comfort food !
When I lived at home our haystack was very simular to yours. Using rice and making a soupy meat mixture. But after I married this is how my Inlaws make it. An my husband prefers this way. They call it tex mex potatoes! I call them loaded potatoes! Either using baked potatoes or cooked chucked potatoes with browned butter... taco meat, only adding 2 T taco seasoning with half cup water! Cheese sauce, doritos, lettuce, onions peppers tomatoes salsa, jalapeños, i add sour cream to my pot. Also ranch dressing an western dressing. My husband uses the dressings and I use the cheese sause!!!
Its so interesting hereing how everyone else make them!!
Thank you for shareing, that looks so yummy,enjoy, please stay safe.
We had haystacks a lot growing up. Ours were tortilla chips and then taco meat and all the fixings you describe. We just didn't have rice with it. :)
Haystacks here in TX are a chocolate bird nest of sorts, we call what you made (of sorts) Mexican pile on or fiesta stack up... I’m definitely trying the breakfast haystack!
We made something called haystacks growing up but it was a cookie made with oatmeal and cocoa I cannot recall anything savory called haystacks Thanks Lynette
Have made haystacks for supper many times but never thought of them for breakfast. Will be make some soon. Thank you
And here I thought haystacks were a Seventh Day Adventist thing, this takes me back to my childhood. Having them for dinner tonight. Though I will say I’ve never seen them done with rice
So interesting to see your haystacks recipe Lynette. Growing up and still we often have haystacks at our church potlucks and at home sometimes. Ours are Fritos first, then pinto beans, dairy or vegan cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, black olives, avocados, salsa, and dairy or vegan sour cream. We also have Special K Loaf from time to time.
I love Haystacks! Haven't had them in a long time! It was a regular thing in Shipshewana
Same here in northern Indiana! Love it :)
We had breakfast stacks for dinner last night. It was a big hit
That looks really good. I picked up a recipe a long time ago that was popular in the seventies. It was called taco salad and had many of the elements that you've got in this. You made a salad of all the toppings you would put on a taco like lettuce, onion, tomato and shredded cheese, then added crushed Doritos, preferably the spicy ones then hamburger made with taco seasoning taco much like you did, and heated kidneybeans. Mix it all together with some orange French dressing . It sounds awful but it was delicious.
Great video. Luv the idea of making haystack. Have a blessed evening.
All your videos are fun to watch as is your family you are an amazing young woman!!!
We actually served a version of haystacks for our wedding. We used shredded cheese, plain tortilla chips and added salad dressing since we didn't have the liquid from the cheese sauce. I was surprised how many people didn't know what it was. It's one of my go to meals for company and Sunday dinner. It's so easy to prep everything ahead of time so it doesn't take much time right before meal time.
I must say the breakfast version looks top notch, but wow! That's a lot of "rich" items all together😄. I might need to suggest it for a holiday brunch or something. I enjoy seeing what you classify as amish/ mennonite foods. Also, random here, but do you remember going to bible school together 10ish years ago? I started following you purely because I was curious what you were up to🤣. I find your content very interesting and motivating since I'm not one who feels the need to keep busy. 😏
We make them and use corn chips almost like a walking taco! Or the Asian fried noodles and melted butterscotch chips as a Christmas canday
I have had Haystacks! We have breakfast Haystacks up here in the North. They are awesome and I was tickled to see you do this video!
Adding both of these to our regular rotation. We have 7 children and 10 grandchildren...both of these meals will be great for when we all get together! Thank you, sweet Lynette!!!
This looks really good. I sure wish I could become a Mennonite.
Loved watching the video! I'll originally run Ohio, we love our haystack too!
I've had breakfast haystacks , but it was called garbage and toast. Very rich filling and so gooood!
What a beautiful family, God bless❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
My family has eaten "haystacks" my whole life. Just a taco salad really....hamburger, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, etc.....over tortilla chips. Soo good
Never tried either in North Dakota. Both recipes look amazing! Can't wait to try them! Thank you for all your wonderful videos that you share.
Breakfast haystack is my favorite breakfast!!
Breakfast haystacks looks so good, I will need to make 👍🏼😃
Yes please! Haystacks look amazing.
I dont do this over rice but I make taco salads like this :) Onion and beef w black beans, ranch style beans, taco seasoning over lettuce with cheese, doritos, and either Catalina dressing, thousand island, or ranch. This looks delicious though! Like a make your own Mexican casserole. I think ill make this tomorrow night
Those look delicious! At my old church in Montezuma, Ga, we often had a different version of haystacks. I need to try your version soon! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Lynette, The first time I had a haystack breakfast was when I went to my husband's family reunion in Indiana. My husband was raised mennonite and so that was when I got to have my first haystack. I love watching you and I love using alot of the recipe.
I really enjoyed this video. We're not Amish/ Mennonite, but my mom used to do something similar with ground beef, gravy, mashed potatoes and veggies. She often made it as a way to use up leftovers! At first, I thought you were going to make haystacks with cocao, oatmeal and coconut! You need to get a salad spinner for drying lettuce, etc. it's much quicker and easier than paper towels.
Oh I love to try all of Lynette's recipes 😋. They are so good.
From one stay at home wife and mum to another! Thanks so much for sharing easy, quick and healthy recipes for our family to enjoy! Much love and God Bless from Australia!
I'm new to the channel. I have always loved the Amish lifestyle.
Thank you Lynette! This is my favorite type of video!
