One Crazy Cookie

The other day I was in desperate need of a trip to the grocery store, but too tired to make one.  I remembered seeing something like this in an old family cookbook.  So going from memory and the help of my sweet neighbor who went on vacation and left me a few perishable items created this dish!  It was a huge hit with the family! Mexican Haystacks 1 lb hamburger 1/2 cup diced onion 1 1/2 cups salsa 1 packet taco seasoning* 1 (14.5 oz) can of corn, drained 1 (15 oz) can of red kidney beans or beans of your choice cooked rice (About 3 cups uncooked rice) shredded cheddar cheese diced tomatoes diced avocados diced mangoes or peaches Sour Cream Brown hamburger and onions together.  Drain.  Add the salsa and *just enough of the taco seasoning packet for your tastes. Add a little water at this point. (maybe 1/4 cup).  Stir in the corn and beans.  Heat until warmed through.  Serve over rice.  Top with the cheese, tomatoes, avocados, mangoes or peaches and some sour cream.

Ok this is one of those recipes that you truly cannot believe the ingredients actually work together.  Well let me tell you it is AMAZING!!  I took these to work. Had the first person guess what was in them.  Then it became a game for everyone else to figure it out.  Let's just say it was a HUGE hit and they have been hinting for me to make more by telling me that they are craving them!!
