Jack's Firehouse Grilled Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

No Photo

Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 (28 ounce) can country-style baked beans
  • 2 peaches, sliced
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 3 bacon strips, cooked and chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash potatoes and pierce several times with a knife. Place potatoes on paper towels and microwave on HIGH power for 10 minutes or until soft (see note).
  2. Cut 8 (12 inch) squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  3. Slice potatoes in half and scoop out a small portion of potato to make a narrow boat, reserving the scooped-out potato. Place one potato half on each foil square.
  4. In a bowl, mix baked beans, peaches, onion, bacon and reserved sweet potato; season to taste with salt and pepper. Place mixture in potato cavities, dividing evenly.
  5. Bring up top and bottom edges of foil around each potato half, leaving a little space for steam expansion during cooking. Seal foil around potatoes, and place wrapped potatoes on the grill.
  6. Cook for 20 minutes over indirect heat or until warm throughout.

Notes

To grill potatoes, as an alternative to microwaving, pierce potatoes with a fork, wrap in foil and grill over medium heat for 1 hour.
