Campfire 'Breakfast in a Bag'

I will warn you... you might think this sounds like a CRAZY idea! 

My mom came up with this idea for a creative breakfast while camping.  Basically you cook you breakfast over the campfire IN A BAG!  I know what you are thinking, this is never going to work.  The bag for sure will catch fire!  But believe me... it really does work!!!  Next time you are camping and enjoying the great outdoors, try it out for yourselves.

Servings: 6
Serving Size: 1 breakfast in a bag (1 egg + 1 1/2 slices of bacon)
Points Plus: 5pp
Level of Difficulty: Medium
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Grill/Cook Time: 15-20 minutes (depends on the campfire)

Ingredients:
Paper lunchbags
Tinfoil
Smore's/campfire sticks
6 eggs
9 slices of bacon
Salt & pepper

Directions:
Start a campfire. :)  Line the grilling grate with tinfoil.  Assemble and prep your 'breakfast in a bag' by opening up lunch bags and lining the bottom with 1 1/2 slices of bacon each. Crack an egg into each bag and season with salt and pepper.  Fold over the top to 'seal' and poke holes in the top of the bag to attach each 'breakfast in a bag' to the campfire stick.  Place on top of the grilling grate and cook for 15-20 minutes.  You will probably need to pull one bag off the fire to check on cook time.  Have fun and enjoy your campfire 'breakfast in a bag'!

*Tip - You could cut your bacon slices in half ahead of time at home so you have them ready to go at the campground.

Tip:
Make sure you don't overload the campfire with too many 'breakfast in a bags'.  We had 8 total on the campfire at one point and it proved to be too many.  We had a little grease fire breakout from the all the bacon grease!  Be careful! :)
