Bacon-Wrapped Pork Loin
Bacon-wrapped pork loin is a simple dish completed in the oven. You could give it a try in the slow cooker but you will definitely want to broil that bacon afterwards to get the awesome, crispy texture!

Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 - 3 lb pork loin
  • 8 slices of bacon
  • Black pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp. freshly chopped ginger
  • 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (use GF sauce for gluten-free.)
  • 1 tbsp. coarse whole grain mustard
  • 1 tbsp. rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. honey
  • 1 lb Creamer potatoes, quartered
  • 1/2 lb button or cremini mushroom, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375F. Place the pork loin in the pan and score the top of the meat. Season with pepper. Arrange potatoes, onions, and mushrooms around the roast.
  2. Combine the garlic, ginger, chili flakes, soy sauce, mustard, vinegar, and honey into a small bowl. Whisk together until combined, seasoning with pepper. Pour half the mixture over the pork loin and veggies. Take your bacon slices and wrap them around the pork (I did not go underneath the pork, just kind of draped it.) Pour on remaining sauce.
  3. Bake for 1 hour or until internal temperature reaches 145/150F. If you bacon is looking dark, cover pan with aluminum foil.
  4. Allow meat to rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving!
Notes
My 2.5 lb pork loin took 1 hour to cook to 145F internally. For a larger cut of meat, add on another 15+ minutes. Pork is safe to eat at 145F so if you take the meat out then, it will have time to rest and climb in temperature.
