How to Make Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Pork Loin
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Butterfly the pork loin: Using a sharp knife, slice the pork loin lengthwise, almost all the way through, creating a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
- Prepare the stuffing: In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of cubed bread, 1 medium onion (finely chopped), 4 tablespoons of melted butter, 1 teaspoon of dried summer savory (or 2 tablespoons fresh, chopped), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
- Stuff the pork loin: Spoon the stuffing evenly into the pocket of the pork loin. Gently close the loin and secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Season and wrap: Sprinkle the outside of the pork loin generously with 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Wrap the pork loin tightly with 12-15 slices of uncooked bacon.
- Bake: Place the bacon-wrapped pork loin in a roasting pan and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 155°F (68°C).
- Rest: Remove from oven and tent loosely with foil. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork loin.
