roasted bacon wrapped bbq pork loin
I just kind of threw this together using a pork loin I had in the freezer and with ingredients on hand. Every year around New Year's our local grocery store sells pork loin for REAL CHEAP!! I always buy an 8-9 pound roast and cut it into 3 pieces and freeze. The BBQ sauce adds a subtle smokey sweetness to the pork loin while the bacon keeps it juicy. This recipe is a keeper for my family!

How To Make roasted bacon wrapped bbq pork loin
-
1Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 13"X9" baking pan with no-stick aluminum foil. Set aside.
-
2Trim some of the fat from the pork loin and poke about 8 - 10 holes in the top of the roast, being careful not to go through to the bottom. Twist knife slightly to make a small "hole".
-
3Pour the barbeque sauce over the roast and work some of it into the holes in the roast. Rub remaining sauce over entire roast. Place in prepared roasting pan.
-
4Place a large piece of aluminum foil on a flat working surface. Lay 6 slices of bacon side-by-side on the foil. With 6 more slices, "weave" into the slices laying on the foil to make a "basket weave" design.
-
5Pick up foil with bacon on it and flip over onto the pork loin in the roasting pan. Center the bacon on the roast and tuck edges under roast. The entire roast should be covered in bacon.
-
6Place in oven and roast for 1 hour 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Serve with extra BBQ sauce or pan drippings if desired.
-
7PLEASE NOTE: For extra flavor, put a thick slice of garlic in each hole along with the BBQ sauce.
