  • 1 cup thinly sliced carrots

  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 8 slices precooked bacon, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons margarine or butter

Steps

  • 1
    Heat grill. In 3-quart microwave-safe casserole, combine potatoes, onions, carrots, celery and water. Cover with microwave-safe plastic wrap. Microwave on HIGH for 5 to 6 minutes or until vegetables are hot and have just begun to cook, stirring once during cooking. Drain. Stir in salt and pepper.
  • 2
    Cut 18x18-inch sheet of heavy-duty foil. Place potato mixture on foil. Top with bacon and dot with margarine. Wrap securely using double-fold seals, allowing room for heat expansion.
  • 3
    Immediately place on gas grill over medium-high heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium-high coals. Cook 25 to 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  • 4
    To serve, carefully open foil packet to allow steam to escape.

  • Partially cooking these potatoes in the microwave shortens the grilling time.
  • Purchase the precooked bacon slices in the grocery store meat department. Or try cooked bacon pieces packaged in jars or resealable plastic bags; look for them near the salad dressings.
  • Serve this dish with barbecued chicken or grilled chicken.
