A great camping dinner recipe for pork is to make stuffed green peppers. Cook and drain 1 pound of rice and set it aside in a sealed container. In a large pan place a few teaspoons of cooking oil along with 1/2 of a large onion diced, a half-cup of diced celery, one pound of ground pork and the seasonings of your choice. Cook this over a camp fire for about 20 minutes or until the pork begins to brown and then drain the grease from the pan. Next, add the rice you have previously cooked to the pan and mix the ingredients thoroughly. Take 6 large green peppers and cut the tops off and hollow out the center, and then stuff the green peppers with the rice and pork mixture. Place the tops back onto the green peppers and hold them in place using toothpicks, then wrap them individually in aluminum foil. These can then be placed onto a cooking grate over the camp fire and turned every five minutes over a medium flame until the peppers become soft (about 30 to 45 minutes).

Another very good camping dinner recipe for pork is to make ordinary spare ribs, but with a very special homemade sauce. In a small pan add 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, a quarter stick of butter, 3 tablespoons of Tabasco or hot sauce, one ounce of apple cider vinegar and a 12 ounce bottle of store-bought barbecue sauce. Heat this mixture while stirring frequently for about ten minutes and remove it from the heat and let stand. Next, sprinkle pork spare ribs with a few ounces of apple cider vinegar and place them on a cooking grate over a low camp fire for about an hour and a half. When the ribs are beginning to turn golden brown brush your barbecue sauce liberally on each side of the ribs, repeating this every ten minutes while they cook. After three applications of the barbecue sauce the ribs are ready to eat, and they are a very unique camping recipe for pork.
