    PORK, stuffed with PORK and wrapped in PORK bacon!

    My body and brain are having quarrels over the moral dilemma of actually serving this dish. It is almost sinful. However, my family is not real fond of the "other white meat". I'm on a mission to help the boys say "yes" to pork. The mission was successful. There was not a scrap left on the serving platter. (A promise to all of our vegetarian/vegan viewers, there will be some vegan dishes coming your way this upcoming week) In the mean time, all the men in my house are pounding on their chests like Tarzan. This recipe is a meat lovers dream. According to my boys, bacon is its own food group.  So there you have it!!!

    This little Bacon Wrapped Sausage Stuffed Pork Tenderloin recipe is a blast from the past. We originally posted this recipe on September 14, 2011. Lots of things have changed since then, thank goodness!

    Step By Step

    I was looking through my old photos on the original Bacon Wrapped Sausage Stuffed Pork Tenderloin recipe post. Yikes! Looking at these ghastly photos was almost like seeing yourself in the mirror after a hangover.  I have made this recipe about a million times since I last posted in 2011 and wanted to share with you some quick and easy tips for this recipe.

    Fabulous Side Dish Ideas

    In keeping with the low carbohydrate theme, a nice tossed salad and a green veggie on the side would be grand. A side of our Super Easy Grilled Asian Eggplant,  Favorite Provencal Ratatouille Recipe,  Grilled Shishito Peppers   might really hot the spot. If you're not on the low carbohydrate diet, then some Herbs de Provence Baby Potatoes and Tomatoes on the side would really please your meat and potato kind of guys on their special day. If serving this on a cooler day, a delicious side of sliced cooked cinnamon apples on the side would be amazing.

    HWC TIPS...

    • You can prep your Bacon Wrapped Sausage Stuffed Pork Tenderloins up to the point of wrapping it up in bacon and then wrap it up and place in the refrigerator up to 24 hours in advance.
    • I used mild Italian sausage as that is what I had on hand but you could also use spicy Italian sausage or even add some red pepper flakes to give it a little kick. You can also feel free to exchange out the panko bread crumbs with gluten free Homemade bread crumbs. If you want to go low carb, you can exchange the bread crumbs with crushed pork rinds.
    • There is no need to be sticking any toothpicks into this delicious Bacon Wrapped Sausage Stuffed Pork Tenderloin as the bacon is the perfect tie-strap to hold this dish together.
    • The most important thing to note is to cook your Bacon Wrapped Sausage Stuffed Pork Tenderloin low and slow. You will also want to cook the pork indirectly on the grill. We have a second rack on our grill that is further away from the flame on our gas grill. If you are cooking on a charcoal grill, place on the side of the grill that is not as hot.
    • Do NOT overcook the pork! Use a meat thermometer. Take the Bacon Wrapped Sausage Stuffed Pork Tenderloin off the grill when the temperature reading is between 145-150 degrees celsius. Then, allow the meat to rest for about 10 minutes. There is no reason to cook your pork to the consistency of shoe leather and then a few minutes more.  According to the USDA, safe pork minimum cooking temperature is 145 degrees. Then, of course, the pork continues to cook for the next 10 minutes while it is resting off the grill.

    • Tightly wrap the pork tenderloin into a roll.
    • Start at one side and wrap bacon around the pork tenderloin that is stuffed with sausage. Overlap and use the bacon to secure the pork tenderloin from coming apart.

    OVEN Directions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)
    • After you complete step 7 (wrapping the stuffed pork tenderloin in bacon and season) Sear your pork tenderloin in a pan on the stove top on all sides on medium high heat.

        Thanks Eha. Pork tenderloin is not too high in fat and that compensates for all the bacon and sausage. (Smiling)

      Delicious. Made it twice. The 2nd time we grilled for 5 min on high and rotated to sear snd cook bacon a little more then raised it up on higher grate and turned to low and followed the rest of the recipe.
