This was really fun to make. I had my butcher cut my pork roast into thirds so I could unroll it, and stuff it without having to pound it. We had a New Years Eve party and I used the leftover ham and cheese from a deli tray as ingredients and it was a great way to start the new year! Served with stuffing and it was terrific! Today, i'm going to use the leftover cream sauce and try turning it into sauce for au gratin potatoes.

We made this on the grill last night for supper and it was wonderful. The cheese, herbs and smoke blended beautifully. It wasn't difficult to make at all.

I only gave four stars because I didn't use the pork recipe. The cream sauce, however, came out very nicely. I was using it with pork chops, and I poured some of the pork fat rendered from the pork chops' pan into the cream to marry the flavors. Just a suggestion, but it worked for me!

Well, I had stuffed pork tenderloin for dinner last weekend and have been searching for great recipes ever since. When I found this one, I decided to make it, with a few substitutions for phases I'm in right now. Instead of swiss I used smoked gouda and I added smoked sausage to the stuffing (1/2 cup) instead of the ham. Everything else I left the same and it was amazing! I'm guessing the original recipe was amazing too, but I thought I would share my modifications. Thanks! It was really good, and such a nice presentation.
