Easy Crock Pot Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin Roast Food

SLOW COOKER BACON WRAPPED PORK LOIN ROAST

Steps:

• Place cubed sweet potatoes and diced onions into the bottom of the slow cooker.
• Spread ghee onto all sides of the pork loin. Next, rub minced garlic all over pork loin.
• Lay bacon slices out next to each other, (slightly overlapping) and wrap the pork loin tightly with the bacon.
• Place pork loin in the slow cooker on top of the sweet potatoes and onions. Set slow cooker on low, and cook for 3-4 hours or until the thickest part of the pork reads an internal temperature of at least 150 degrees.
• To get the bacon extra crispy, broil in the oven for 2-5 minutes, or until bacon is crisp to your liking. Make sure to place it in the middle of the oven, or at least 5 inches away to prevent the bacon from burning. (Optional)
• Cut pork into thick slices and cover pork with juice from slow cooker before serving. Garnish with parsley or basil.

BACON-WRAPPED PORK ROAST WITH PEACH SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine 4 teaspoons salt and sugar in bowl. Remove fat cap and silverskin from roast. Rub roast with salt-sugar mixture, wrap in plastic wrap, and refigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.
• Bring peaches, 1 cup wine, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/3 cup vinegar, thyme sprigs, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to simmer in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook at strong simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 2 cups and spatula leaves trail when dragged through sauce, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and discard thyme sprigs. Reserve 2 tablespoons of liquid portion of sauce (without peach segments) in small bowl for glazing. Cover and set aside remaining sauce.
• Meanwhile, adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 250 degrees. Line rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with vegetable oil spray. Unwrap roast and pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with herbes de Provence and 1 teaspoon pepper.
• Arrange bacon slices on cutting board parallel to counter's edge, overlapping them slightly to match length of roast. Place roast in center of bacon, perpendicular to slices. Bring ends of bacon up and around sides of roast, overlapping ends of slices as needed.
• Place bacon-wrapped roast, seam side down, in center of prepared sheet. Roast until center of pork registers 90 degrees, 30 - 40 minutes. Remove roast from oven and increase oven temperature to 475 degrees.
• Brush top and sides of roast with reserved 2 tablespoons sauce. Once oven reaches temperature, return pork to oven and roast until bacon is well browned and meat registers 130 degrees, 15 - 20 minutes longer. Transfer roast to wire rack and let rest for 15 minutes.
• Stir mustard into sauce and rewarm over low heat. Transfer roast to carving board and cut into 1/2 inch-thick slices. Serve with peach sauce.

BACON WRAPPED PORK ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• If pork loin is thick, cut it in half vertically so that there are 2 long, but thinner pieces of meat.
• With a knife, poke small but deep holes all throughout the meat
• Insert sliced garlic pieces into these holes.
• Season meat with salt and pepper.
• Wrap bacon slices all around the meat, making sure that no part of the loin is exposed. Bacon slices should be wrapped closely together. For two pieces of roast, it should take about a pack of bacon.
• Finely chop fresh thyme and sprinkle over meat.
• Sprinkle savory over roast.
• Take a large pan and pour in oil and wine, mixing them together.
• Place roast in pan and cover with aluminum foil (do not poke holes).
• Bake the covered roast for 2 1/2 hours, occasionally lifting cover to check liquid levels. Add water to pan as wine and oil diminishes.
• After 2 1/2 hours, remove aluminum foil from pan and continue to cook roast for an additional 30 minutes. This will cause the bacon to become crispy. Add a little wine or water during the last 30 minutes. The end result will be a crunchy outside, with a tender, juicy inside.
• Slice and serve with mashed potatoes, using the juices from the pan as a gravy.
