Breakfast in a Bag | |
| Intended for: | All Scouts |
| Required: | Paper lunch bag Marshmallow roasting stick Campfire with hot coals and little flame. |
| Ingredients: | Per person: 2 strips bacon handful of frozen hash browns 1 or 2 eggs salt and pepper |
| Instructions: | Lay bacon in bottom of bag. Add potatos. Add eggs. Close bag by folding top 1/3 down, then fold that in half and in 1/2 again. Poke through the folded portion with the stick to hold it above the fire. Hold 5 inches above coals for 10 minutes - might be better to prop up by sticking the other end of the stick in the dirt rather than hoping every boy keeps his bag out of the coals. Open a bag to check. If its done, tear the top off the bag or fold it down and eat right out of the bag. But, since the bag is greasy, you'll want to sit it on a plate or something other than the table or pants leg. |

Once it is all blended, stir in the oats and nuts. Make sure it is well mixed. Spread the mixture onto a cookie sheet with at least a 1/2 inch high lip. Press the mixture down and pack it in until it fills the pan and is a smidge less than 1/2 inch thick. You'll probably need a second sheet. Bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove and press down with a spatula to prevent crumbling when it cools. (If you bake it too long, it gets hard and crunchy like a granola bar.) While it is still warm, cut into 3 inch squares. This is often eaten for lunch while canoeing. Globs of peanut butter and/or jelly are loaded on top and then eaten.
