Ham and Sweet Potato Foil Packs Recipe

Are you  stuck in a rut making foil packets? This variation of the hobo meal features ham and sweet potatoes. Perfect for a fall campout!

Cut the sweet potato into small enough pieces that it will cook through. This will be the ingredient which determines how long you have to cook it. Don’t cook it too long or hot or you will burn the sugar.

The brown sugar is optional. Some people like their sweet potato dishes very sweet while others prefer them with little or no sugar. I prefer mine without the brown sugar.

Equipment for foil packs:

• Charcoal fire
• Heavy duty foil
• Knife and cutting board
