Stuffed Pork Loin

Ready for this one?

Pork loin butterflied out, then stuffed with sausage, cream cheese, jalapeño, sautéed mushrooms and onions, then wrapped in bacon and smoked. A final hit of bbq sauce finishes it all off.
Who’s in?

This was one of my more recent bbq test drives, and man was it successful.  Now, I am of course, NOT the first person to ever stuff a pork loin, quite obviously, BUT I happened to have a few of these ingredients lying around and an idea in my head.  So I took a shot and am glad I did.  I have already made this for a second time since the first run.

Here’s the recipe….

Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin With Sausage Jalapeno Stuffing

• Time: 4 hours
• Difficulty: Medium
• Print

Ingredients 

• 3-4 lb. pork loin
• 2 packages of bacon
• 1 package cream cheese
• 14 jalapenos
• 1 small sweet onion diced
• 1 lb mushrooms sliced
• 6 medium italian sausages
• BBQ sauce
• BBQ spice

Directions

• Place knife at the side of the pork loin about 1 inch up on the side and cut into the meat as you roll the pork.  This should result in a long slab of pork that is 1 inches thick
• Lay out and overlap bacon slices so that you have a bed of bacon the same width as the pork loin.
• Place the pork ontop of the bacon slices
• Core and large dice the jalapenos, dice the onions and slice the mushrooms
• Saute in a frying pan with some olive oil and salt and pepper until tender and browned
• Remove the casings from the sausage and mix in a bowl with the package of cream cheese.
• Spread the sausage and cheese mixture out on the pork loin in an even layer.
• Top with the jalapeno, onions and mushroom mixture.
• Starting at one end of the pork, gently roll the pork loin up being careful not to press too hard or the mixture will be forced out the sides.
• Once the pork is rolled, use the bacon slices you placed under the pork to wrap the pork and secure with toothpicks
• Give the bacon wrapped pork loin a dusting with bbq spice
• Place in a 235 degree smoker and smoke with whatever wood you like until the internal temperature reaches 170 degrees.
• Brush with BBQ Sauce and let sit in the smoker for another 20 minutes for the sauce to set
• Let the pork rest for at least 20 minutes and then slice and serve!
