Bacon and Eggs in a Paper Bag
Serves 16.
1 pound bacon
16 lunch size paper bags
32 large whole eggs
16 long handled cooking forks
Cut each slice of bacon in half. Open lunch bag and line bottom with 2
half-slices of bacon. Wash hands after handling raw bacon. Close the bag by
folding the top down 1 1/2 inches. Make a second fold about the same size.
Pierce the bag (through the fold) in the center with the cooking fork or a
stick. Hold the bag (by the cooking fork or stick) over a bed of hot coals. The
bag should be about 1 inch above the coals. Cook for 3-5 minutes until bag
starts to get soaked with bacon grease. Remove bag from heat, let cool for 1
minute.
Break open 2 eggs and drop them into the bag on top of the bacon. Stir eggs,
refold bag and pierce in center with cooking fork. Hold the bag about 1 inch
above coals for about 15 minutes or until eggs are firm and bacon is cooked. Eat
bacon and eggs right from the bag.
