DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Tear off two large sheets of aluminum foil. Place one ham slice onto each piece of foil, and sprinkle brown sugar on both sides. Spread a little bit of the crushed pineapple over the ham, then top with sweet potatoes. Sprinkle a little bit more brown sugar and pineapple over the sweet potatoes. Close the aluminum foil tightly around the ham, and place on a baking sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from the oven, and carefully open the packets. Sprinkle miniature marshmallows over the top, and return to the oven with the foil open. Bake for another 10 minutes. If you want the marshmallows really toasty, you could brown them under the broiler for a couple of minutes. You will end up with a sweet, juicy ham dish and very few dishes to wash.

My family absolutely loved this meal. My 5 year old son, who is the pickiest eater on earth, wanted to have this again the next day. I added a sprinkle of chopped walnuts to my husband's and my "packet". This was one of the easiest and tastiest recipes I have ever found and not having to wash any pots or pans was a big plus. I will definitely be making this recipe at least twice a month. :-)

Before sprinkling the ham w/ brown sugar, brush on some Dijon or grainy mustard on both sides, then continue on with the rest of the recipe...Adds a little extra "kick"

I remember making this over the campfire as a Girl Scout so it was fun to try it out again. My recollection is of chunk pineapple rather than crushed, so that's what I used and I liked it fine that way. I am not sure I'd like it with crushed. The packets are good cooked in the oven, on the barbecue or on the coals of a campfire (when you're out in the woods with no refrigeration you can substitute Spam for the ham, too.) I will be interested to try this with fresh sweet potatoes rather than canned, I think I will like the firmer texture.

I used this recipe and just made the ham part - no sweet potatoes, no marshmallows and it was VERY good. I did have to make a slight change though. I baked the foil packs for 30 minutes but DO NOT open the foil packs and cook an additional 10 minutes - your ham will be overcooked and tough.

My picky kids loved this meal! I made it, wrapped it in foil, and froze it(all except the marshmallows, because those are added later). I wasn't sure it would freeze well--I defrosted it, cooked it, and everything tasted fine. I used the prepackaged RAW ham steaks, and they did not dry out, they were perfect.

i made this unique recipe with a pre-packaged center cut ham steak (about 1 1/4 lb.) then trimmed & cut it into two portions. i also pre-baked 3 slender sweet potatoes & cut them into thick slices instead of using the canned variety. the end result was both tasty & pretty, especially with the broiled marshmellow topping. one note: my finicky boyfriend remarked he could barely taste the pineapple but i thought the flavor combination was fine. thanks gloria!

My boyfriend and I loved this recipe - I added some dried mustard and a little ginger to the crushed pineapple before I added it to the ham and sweet potatoes. Will be making this again. Thanks!

This recipe is a keeper. It was so easy to make and clean up was a breeze. I didn't have much time to prepare dinner and fortunately this recipe doesn't take any time at all. The family loved it and it tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen.

This is easy and delicious. I gave it 4 stars only because it is a bit sweet and we would fix it only occasionally. We love ham. The only variation is that I coated both sides of the ham with spicy brown mustard. Next time I'll use fresh sweet potatoes to cut down on the sugar. Thanks.
