I hate to be one of the only ones that didn't care for this recipe...but we just didn't like it that much. Everyone ate it, but I think it needs some tweaking in my opinion to make it work for us. I made the recipe as it was written, and now I know it could use a bit of help. I used a ham steak, canned sweet potatoes-drained, and crushed pineapple-drained, all of which created too much liquid (as well as the other recipe ingredients). Possibly, the problem was the ham I used, so if I make this again it will be with either leftover ham or deli ham, not a ham steak. The ham would need to be cooked first to release the liquid/juices, the pineapple would be sliced, not crushed and it would have to be a bit less sugar as well (too sweet). I normally love the flavors of this dish, and I like the concept as well so I might give it another try with changes.

OMG!!! Why did I not think of this myself?? This was so good. I left out the pineapple because I forgot to buy it but it was so delicious anyway! I will try with the pineapple next time for sure although I am not sure it can get better! It was so easy! I used fresh sweet potatoes because they were on sale and I microwaved them for a few minutes so that I could get my knife through them and I just put a big slab of sweet potato on top of the ham and more brown sugar on top of that. I am sure it would be just as good with the canned ones but they weren't on sale that day (lol) If anyone tries the fresh ones remember to increase cooking time. Since its in the packet the ham was still tender and delicious even with the increased cooking time. I hate to review a recipe and say well I did this and that but I don't think the changes I made mattered much. It will be even quicker and easier the next time when I use the canned sweet potatoes and remember to buy the pineapple. I will definitely be making this again just as it is written. Thank you so much for a great recipe!!

Husband thought it was just average; however, it's a keeper because it's easy to put together for a quick, good supper.

I'm not a big fan of ham because it's usually too salty for me but this was so good. and, of course, the marshmallows were a hit with my son!

This recipe came together quickly all with ingredients I had on hand. Unfortunately, the overall taste didn't seem enhanced by the combination, it really was like eating the separate items all together. I won't be making it again. Thanks for the recipe though!

We actually weren't too crazy about this. I like ham and pineapple and I like ham and sweet potatoes but the combination of the three didn't work for us. If I make this again I will probably use fresh sweet potatoes, lots of brown sugar and cinnamon, and no pineapple.

I love ham and I love sweet potatoes. You can't go wrong with this. Although, I think I prefer them as seperate dishes.

Well this was interesting and certainly very easy. It was too sweet for me and I didn't care for the crushed pineapple. My son, who is 4, absolutely loved it though!

I had such large ham steaks, that I used one for just the two of us. Wonderful mix of flavors. I would do this one again for a variation.

Really liked the way the flavors worked together in this and it was very easy to make. The only problem I had was I didn't close the foil tight enough and it leaked on the cookie sheet and burned onto it. So just be careful to close it all the way. Also, I used big marshmallows since it was all I had, but they tended to slide off and then stick to the foil. I think mini marshmallows as the recipe calls for are definitely a better choice.

Very good, but I discovered a variation I like better. I use a can of apple pie filling or a package of Stoffers escalloped apples in place of the pineapple. yum.

I have tried lots of new recipes lately and this is the only one that my whole family actually ate and liked. I cubed the ham before assembling the packets to make it easy for the kids. They will definately be asking for this again.

Good stuff! I altered it a bit by using fresh sweet potatoes and baking it in a casserole dish instead of tinfoil. It tastes great and really hits the spot. Thanks!

Super easy! and good! Used fresh sweet potatoes I microwaved and cut into thick slices (don't care for canned). Left sweet potatoes off of husband's as he doesn't like, and marshmallows off of 15 month old's as she doesn't need them, and every one loved their own little packets!
