Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Pork Loin

Submitted by Dee_73

"All I have to say about this is Yum-O! I usually used my grandmothers stuffing which consists of bread cubes, onions, butter and summer savory, but Stove top works just as well. I also use dried herbs, they work just as well as fresh. So easy to make people will think you slaved for hours ;)"

I found this recipe years ago. My son decided it rocked his face off. Hahaha. I changed it slightly. I made the stuffing but also made Rice-a-roni rice pilaf and stuffed that inside the stuffing with a piping bag. It gives the stuffing a surprise. But this is delicious. My children are grown now and all beg me to make this. So I do. Thanks for a great family meal!!

This was excellent. Easy to prepare with outstanding results. Company-worthy! Thanks so much for sharing. My pork loin was just over 2 pounds and it fed 5 people so if you're cooking for more than 5, adjust accordingly.
