Pig - All - Around ( Pork Tenderloin )
- 5 lbs pork loin
- 10 slices maple bacon
- 1 12 lbs of deli style thinly sliced ham
- 1 12 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 12 teaspoon pepper
- 30 toothpicks
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Filet loin in half.
- Combine and mix garlic pawder, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
- Sprinkle the mixed seasoning evenly over both sides of pork loin.
- Lay the loin flat and evenly sprinkle shredded cheese on the top of the loin.
- Layer the thinly sliced ham on top of the cheese.
- Make sure you only do a layer at a time so there will be the same amount of ham in each bite throughout the loin.
- Now roll up the loin and make sure it is long ways and not short and fat.
- Wrap the bacon around the loin starting at one end and using the toothpicks to hold the bacon and keep the loin rolled up.
- Wrap the second peice of bacon right next to the first slice but dont over lap.
- Continue the same way with the rest of the bacon until you reach the other end of the loin.
- Put the loin in a glass casserole dish.
- If you don't have a casserole dish then a non-stick cookie sheet will work.
- Put on middle rack of oven for 45-60 minutes.
- (depending on oven).
- If loin is firm and at 160 degrees (if you have a thermometer) then it is complete.
