Camping & BBQ Recipes Week: Potato Boat Dinner with Ham, Cheese & Bacon. Hi there & welcome to Day 3 of Camping & BBQ Recipes Week! Today's tin foil packet recipe is for a Potato Boat Dinner with ham, bacon & cheese. My son loves this dinner because it includes 2 of his favourite food groups...ham & bacon. {Be sure to visit 2 of my popular posts ever on camping here and here.} This meal is so, so easy but it does require some planning and a bit of prep...it's a great idea to bake the potatoes before you leave home and wrap them in tin foil to take on the camping trip..and keep them chilled. For this recipe, you will need: Large potatoes, baked Sliced ham Cooked bacon slices cheese slices {we like marble} Sour cream for topping Green Onion for topping Directions: Slice baked potatoes like shown: Between the cuts, stuff a slice of cheese, bacon and ham. Add small dabs of butter on top of each of the slices. Wrap potato in double layer of tin foil lightly sprayed with cooking spray.

Top the Potato Boat dinner with sour cream and green onion if you like. Have a wonderful day! Three-Cheese Potatoes Recipe. Camping Haystacks Recipe. Camping & BBQ Recipes Week:Super Easy Pineapple Upside Down Cake. Are you ready for dessert? I think it's for time for some dessert...how about a delicous Pineapple Upside Down Cake? All of this week's recipes have been easy-to-make in tin foil packets...very family friendly! And today...behold the Pineapple Upside Down Cake. For this recipe, you will need: Pineapple chunks, fresh or canned Poundcake, cubed {you can also use plain cake donuts, or donut holes} Butter Brown sugar Whipped Cream or ice cream, if desired Cinnamon or nutmeg, if desired Tin foil Cooking Spray Pineapple Upside Down Cake Directions: Spray a double layer of tin foil with cooking spray.

Add a handful of pineapple chunks. Add pound cake cubes on top of the pineapple. {Pound cake can usually be found in the bakery section of the grocery store, or there is a great Sara Lee frozen pound cake found in the frozen foods section.} To the top of the pineapple and cake, add a good dollop of butter and brown sugar. Open up the packet for the last few minutes to brown up the cake a little. Serve! Amazing! Campfire Cones. Over Spring Break a few weeks ago, I took the kids camping. I'll be honest, we weren't totally roughing it ~ our cabin had heat and electricity (and even a little fridge and microwave). Despite those "luxuries", I knew I wanted to do most of our cooking over the campfire. We cooked hot dogs and chicken and roasted TONS of marshmallows (seriously, like 2 whole bags between the four of us!).

However, for a more "gourmet" dessert, I decided to combine the ingredients of our Campfire Bananas with the recent post I saw on Quirky Momma making Smores in a Cone! Let me tell you, they were AWESOME! Here's what we used: * Sugar Cones * Peanut Butter * Mini Marshmallows * Chocolate Chips * Bananas * Aluminum Foil (to wrap them in) Here's what to do: 1. 2. 4. The combination of the melted peanut butter, chocolate and marshmallows with the warm bananas was just awesome.
