Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin
Welcome to the March Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop, hosted by My Pinterventures. The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants of this hop (and you too) to not just pin, but to make it happen! So this month, I chose to make this Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin originally from The Cookie Writer.
Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin
I love pork but for some reason due to my dry mouth from Sjogren’s I have a hard time swallowing it. I was looking for a recipe that would keep the pork moist. That’s when I came across this pin. Because it cooked in a marinade it was not only very flavorful but also much more moist than my usual recipe. And seriously, you can’t go wrong with bacon! It was delicious! Thanks Kacey for a great recipe!
I changed up some of the ingredients and followed the directions with a few exceptions. Here is my version.
Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 – 3 lb pork loin
- 4 slices of bacon
- Black pepper
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (use GF sauce for gluten-free.)
- 1 tbsp. spicy brown mustard
- 1 tbsp. rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp. honey
- 1 lb red potatoes, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 lb fresh asparagus cut into pieces
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375F. Put the pork loin in a roasting pan and score the top of the meat. Season with pepper. Arrange potatoes around the roast.
- Combine the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, mustard, vinegar, and honey into a small bowl. Stir together until combined. Pour half the mixture over the pork loin and potatoes. Take your bacon slices and cut them in half. Then wrap them over the pork. Pour on remaining sauce.
- Bake for 30 minutes then add the asparagus and stir in with potatoes. After another 30 minutes check the internal temperature. It should reach 145/150F. If your bacon starts looking dark before that time, cover pan with aluminum foil. If your bacon is not quite browned or the temp is not at least 145, cook for another 15 minutes.
- Allow meat to sit for 15 minutes before slicing.
I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!

I’m not a huge fan of pork because I do think it’s often dry and hard to chew but we’ll have to try this; it looks delicious and my boys always say that bacon makes everything better. Pinned.

I’m with you Roseann, you can’t go wrong with bacon! This looks like a delicious recipe! Thanks for sharing your version.
This does sound tasty! My grandmother-in-law makes a bacon wrapped meatloaf that’s quite good. I’m sure my husband will enjoy this, I mean bacon makes everything better! Ha!
I know my family will love this recipe. Thanks for sharing!

My family will go nuts over this, I can’t wait to make it! I already have pork loin in the fridge and all the ingredients but the bacon (because it never lasts long here!)

This looks great and I will forward it to a friend who’s son has dietary restrictions as well. Thanks!
This looks amazing and yummy! Pinned
Holy smokes, this looks so good! Love a good pork loin recipe. Have been making it in the crock pot lately. Glad to have a new recipe. Just got home from out of town to discover my freezer went out while I was gone and I lost all of my frozen meat. Including…a pork loin. Boo. Pinning this so I can make it very soon.
Oh, all this food is making me hungry. This looks so good!
You sure cannot go wrong with bacon. I hope the bacon helped the meat stay more moist. It looks delicious. I’ve done it once and we loved it! Yum!

This looks so good. It has all of the things that make a delicious meal. I bet the flavor is out of this world. Yummy.
Well, it’s wrapped in bacon, so it must be good 🙂 Pinned.

Oh my goodness — this made my mouth water! Pork on top of pork . . . doesn’t get any better. I love the flavor Rice Wine Vinegar gives to recipes. Thanks for sharing this yummy one!
That looks and sounds delish! Pinned so I can make it later this week. Sadly I ran out of bacon. Figures!
Looking at your picture you made me hungry. I am sure it is delicious, the mix of vinegar and honey is one of my favorites. Pinning!
This looks so good! I have some pork loin that I froze, so I am going to give this a try!
