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.

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. Salt & pepper to taste.
Wrap potato in double layer of tin foil lightly sprayed with cooking spray.
Place on a hot BBQ for 20+ minutes...until potato is hot and cheese, ham & bacon have melted together and it looks toasty and good!
Top the Potato Boat dinner with sour cream and green onion if you like.
The Potato Boat has so many possibilities...you could leave out the ham & bacon and just add cheese and broccoli, or chili,or cooked taco meat.
Serve the Potato Boat Dinner with a big green salad, a Caesar salad or fresh fruit.
I like to add fresh fruit because a) my kids love fruit and b) and it's a nice change from the saltiness of the bacon and ham.
When I made the Potato Boat Dinner to share with y'all on my blog, my son got home from school and I offered him one.
I have never seen a meal disappear so fast...or so much sour cream all over one person's face!

Another delicious recipe, Angie! I love this AND I can eat it! : ) I am going to have a bunch of your recipes printed out and sitting on my cookbook stand.
Girl1 how do you come up with these? the meat slices in the slits is brilliant! Then all the flavours meld together...Mmmm..... 3 weeks til my first camping trip of the season - recipes ready!
You're a doll to share your fun camping recipes. Obviously, doing as much work in advance is key. I plan to try them all. Thank You!

This looks incredible! I'm going camping this weekend and I'm pinning this recipe to use. :)
You are making me hungry ~ All of the time!!!!! This looks fantastic!
Oh I can't wait to try this one! Thanks for the new ideas, loving it!
My mouth is watering just thinking about it! We do something similar with baked potataoe and just a slice of bacon in the middle and then wrapped in tin foil. We usually do it on our steak night when camping.
This is so great...I'm going to share this with our Boy Scout Troop and pin it. Please post this on my foodie friday party today.
and again..... yuuummmyyy!!!

This looks wonderful! I love camping, but I think this would be tasty on the back deck hot off the grill! Thanks for sharing!

I'm getting ready right now for our first camping trip of the season. These sound great, and I love the idea of pre-baking the potatoes at home! I'm a new follower now on GFC.
