Here is what I copied from the dutch oven list on yahoo.  I use the Pepper Jack Cheese soup from Campbells.  I heard they were thinking about discontinueing this soup and laid in a stock just in case, lol.  I did see it in the Wal-Mart in Clinton yesterday.  I have used smoked sausage cut up in 1/2 inch pieces both times I have cooked this.  The first time I tried it, I didn't have enough corn and put sausage between the ears.  The picture of that time is in the picture files of this group. 

 

Pigs in a Cornfield

An excellent dish for camping.

We've since modified it some to use links of Keilbasa
between the corn for an added delight! We've also
tried some different soups like Cheddar Cheese,
Southwest Pepper-Jack, Cream of Celery, are a couple
that come to mind.

Particulars:
Packages to total about 18 little ears of corn, 3 medium potatoes, two
medium onions, 1 can cream of mushroom soup and a little extra water,
and about 1 pound of pork chops, pork steak, etc.

I found a package of pork that been cut up for stew meat and used that
when I cooked it. Season the pork well with your seasoning blend of
choice. Thin slice the potatoes and onion. Stand the ears of corn on
end around the inside of the oven. Layer the potatoes and onions in
the middle of the oven. Put the pork on top of them. Pour the cream
of mushroom soup on top of the pork Fill the soup can about 1/4 full
of water and pour the water over the soup. It will drain through to
the bottom.

Cooking time was about an hour and a half, at 350 degrees. I would
add more coals to top and bottom and cook at about 400 degrees.

I was very careful to make sure the pork was well cooked.

If you like garlic, then use some garlic with the potatoes and onions.
