When preparing to make Stuffed Pork Loin, preheat grill to about degrees. Once temperature has been reach, place pork loin on grill. It will take about 60 minutes to cook pork loin.

We use an instant read meat thermometer to make sure that the pork is cooked to a safe temperature before serving.

You can also bake the pork loin in the oven at 400 degrees F for 60-70 minutes until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Place prepared pork loin in a baking dish and bake.

You may need to turn your oven on broil for the last few minutes. This allows the bacon to get extra crispy.

What to Serve with Stuffed Pork Loin:

This Stuffed Pork Loin is a heavy meal, we like to serve a side that is light. Here are some of our favorites.

• Green Salad – Make a simple salad that is loaded with vegetables.
• Grilled Asparagus – When the pork loin is close to be done, add some asparagus to the grill. This makes for an easy side dish that is loaded with flavor.
• Bake Potatoes on the Grill – We love making potatoes on the grill. The texture gets crispy and the inside is tender and soft.
• Grilled Bacon Wrapped Pineapple

How to Store Bacon-Wrapped Pork Loin:

• Storing your Leftovers – Refrigerate any leftovers in an air tight container for up to 5 days.
• Reheating your Leftovers – You can either microwave your leftovers or place them on a baking sheet and heat in a preheated oven of 350 degrees.
• Freezing your Leftovers – Pork Tenderloin can be frozen if placed in a air tight freezer safe container. It will stay good for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator when you are ready to serve.

Tips for the Best Pork Tenderloin:

• Overcooking Pork Tenderloin – It is never a good idea to overcook pork. It become tough and there really isn’t anything to help make it tender again. Make sure to watch your tenderloin closely and use a meat thermometer.

• Let it Rest – Make sure to let your pork rest when you take it off the grill. It gives time for the juices to really marinate into the pork. If you cut it to early all the juices will just run on your plate.
