    Roasted Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin

    Roasted Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin
    This is part 3 of the Post Project Food Blog - What's Next? Series. Other posts in this series: Why Boston Rescue Mission, Boston Rescue Mission: Sunday Community Dinner

    This bacon wrapped oven roasted pork loin is the home version of a dish that I make (with lots of help, of course!) for > 100 people at the Boston Rescue Mission during their Sunday Community Dinner.

    The nice thing about making just a single serving at home (as opposed to making 10 times the amount in commercial ovens), is that I can actually cook the pork a lot less (compared to at the shelter, where we essentially have to cook everything well done). Here, I decided to cook it to a perfect medium, just slightly pink in the middle.

    It was juicy, tender, and absolutely fantastic.

    Why, if given the choice, would anyone cook pork any more than this?

    First, rub minced garlic, salt, and pepper all over the pork loin.Roasted Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin
    Wrap bacon around the loin so that every inch is covered. You may want to experiment and use different kinds of bacon if you wish (e.g., maple bacon, or black forest?). Roasted Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin
    Sprinkle with crushed fresh (if possible) rosemary leaves.Roasted Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin
    Bake in the oven at high heat (450 °F) for 15 minutes to crisp up the bacon. Then reduce heat to 375 °F and cook for another hour or so (until internal temperature reaches something with which you are comfortable. I was pretty risky and I think I took it out even before it reached 150°F internal temperature).

    Slice and enjoy! Bryan loves slightly undercooked meat, so he was thrilled with the results. This pork loin is juicy, tender, yet flavorful especially due to the bacon, garlic, and rosemary.

      […] end up with a dry piece of shoe leather. Alternatively, trim all of the fat from the meat and wrap the loin in bacon. Thinly sliced bacon will crisp faster, so is better on smaller roasts. For a crown roast, use […]
