Ingredients

  • 1 pork loin or pork tenderloin (about 3 pounds, see notes above)
  • 16 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers
  • 1 cup Bacon cooked, crumbled
  • 1 ounce pesto seasoning (Knorr or McCormick brand can be found by the gravy/dressing mixes)
  • 1 cup Fresh Spinach Leaves
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • paprika to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. If you are using a pork loin, cut it almost in half, then cut the halves almost in half again so that you kind of unfold it a few times and then pound it out flat to 1/2" thickness.If you are using a pork tenderloin, cut almost in half and pound it flat. A tenderloin won't give you the pinwheel look as much but you will still be able to stuff it and roll it enough to seal using butcher's twine.
  2. Once the pork is flat and has a good surface area, spread the cream cheese all over the top. Lay the roasted red peppers over the cream cheese then sprinkle on the crumbled bacon. Evenly sprinkle on the packages dried pesto seasoning and lay the spinach leaves all over the top.
  3. Roll the pork up (like you would if you were making cinnamon rolls) and tie it shut with 3 or 4 pieces of kitchen twine if needed. Next, rub olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper all over the pork and place in a greased baking sheet.
  4. Bake at 350-degrees for 20 minutes per pound, or pork is cooked through with an internal temperature between 150-160℉. Once cooked, slice and serve!

Notes

  • This makes quite a lot so you can make ahead and freeze portions if you prefer. After rolling, but before baking cut it into thirds or fourths. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze the extra portions.
