Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin
Description
The Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin preparation starts by mixing a sauce of ketchup, brown sugar, onion powder, black pepper, oregano, garlic powder, and salt. This mixture is brushed thoroughly over a 3-pound pork loin roast. Next, the pork is wrapped with 16 overlapping slices of bacon secured with toothpicks, ensuring even coverage for flavor and moisture retention.
The roast cooks at 350°F for about 60-70 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, guaranteeing safety and tenderness. After removing from the oven, the pork rests covered in foil for 20-30 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute and enhance moisture. If the bacon is not crisp enough, a brief broil can brown and crisp the slices without overcooking.
When sliced, the pork loin offers tender meat enveloped in a sweet and savory glaze, complemented by smoky, crispy bacon. This method creates an appealing mix of textures and flavors ideal for a hearty meal.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork loin roast
- 16 lices Bacon
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small mixing bowl stir together the ketchup, brown sugar, onion powder, pepper, oregano, garlic powder and salt.
- Brush this sauce all over the pork loin and wrap the seasoned pork loin with the bacon slices making sure that each slice overlaps the previous slice. Secure the bacon to the pork loin roast with toothpicks.
- Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Cook for 60-70 minutes until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Cover the pan with foil and let the pork rest for 20-30 minutes.
- If the bacon is not fully browned, broil for 2-3 minutes rotating the pork loin halfway through the cook time.
- Then the pork is ready to slice, serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use pork loin roast specifically; pork tenderloin will not work as intended.
- Check internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer to ensure it reaches 145°F for safe consumption.
- Let the roast rest after cooking to improve juiciness before slicing.
- If needed, broil briefly to crisp bacon slices further, watching carefully to prevent burning.
