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.

Dessert Burritos A Favorite Recipe
Intended for:	All Scouts
Required:	knife aluminum foil spoons
Ingredients:	tortillas pie filling - blueberry, cherry, apple, ... chocolate chips mini-marshmallows peanut butter
Notes:	This dessert has become our favorite. It is Sweeeeeeeeeet, easy, has very little clean-up, and doesn't get hands really messy if a little care is used.
Instructions:	Open the cans and put a spoon in each one. Tear off squares of aluminum foil. Put a tortilla on the square of foil. Add peanut butter or pie filling. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and/or marshmallows. Roll up the tortilla and fold the bottom edge in. Wrap foil around tortilla and place on grill above fire or on ash around edge of fire. Wait for the ingredients to melt. Hints: Main problem is putting too much stuff in the burrito - try to talk people into taking smaller amounts. Put all the tortillas in a foil wrap and carefully heat them before so they are more flexible. Putting tortillas directly into the coals will burn them - keep them away and rotate often. Each person should mark his burrito wrapper somehow so he knows it is his - special foil fold or permanent marker or series of poked holes in the foil.

Taco in a Bag A Favorite Recipe
Intended for:	All Scouts
Ingredients:	1 individual Dorito chips bag 1/3 cup hamburger 1/3 cup refried beans 2 Tbsp shredded cheese salsa
Notes:	This is quite a popular meal with the scouts I have around, but it's hard to call it cooking. :-)
Instructions:	Cook the hamburger in a skillet. Heat the beans. Cut open the end of a bag of chips. Spoon in some hamburger and beans, sprinkle on cheese, pour in salsa. If hamburger is cooked at home, this can be a cold lunch with no mess or clean-up. You can use a can of chili rather than hamburger and beans.
