Hawaiian Volcanoes updated

We learned of this recipe from a Missionary family that became friends of ours while they came home for a break.  They invited us over for dinner and served us this wonderful dish.  It was something that they used to entertain people with on the mission field. Most of the ingredients can be kept in the cupboards for spur of the minute entertaining so it makes it a go to meal when you need something quick.

It became an immediate family favorite of ours, and we share this meal with lots of friends, and entertain with this dish all the time.

It is great for hot summer days, as well as mid winter, it doesn't heat up the kitchen to bad, and can be made in the crock pot too.  

I have shared this recipe with so many people, I have lost count.  I hope you enjoy.
