How Long to Cook Pork Loin Wrapped in Bacon:
After seasoning the pork loin and wrapping in bacon, place on a roasting pan. Place in a preheated oven and bake the Pork Loin for about an hour. Make sure to remove the pork loin and allow it to rest.
We recommend you use an meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork loin. The temperature should reach 145 degrees when the pork loin is done.
After allowing the pork loin to rest, we like to broil for additional few minutes to get the bacon nice and crispy. Add your favorite sides for a complete meal idea.
How to know when Pork Loin is Cooked:
We use an instant-read meat thermometer to make sure that the pork is cooked to a safe temperature before serving. The meat thermometer allows you to check for doneness instead of slicing it.
Your thermometer should read 145 degrees once the pork loin is finished cooking.
Recipe Tips:
- Pork Tenderloin – Make sure to use a pork loin not a pork tenderloin for this recipe. This cut of meat is best for this recipe.
- Cooking Pork Loin – It is never a good idea to overcook pork. It become tough and there really isn’t anything to help make it tender again. Make sure to watch your tenderloin closely and use a meat thermometer.
- Let it Rest – Make sure to let your pork rest when you remove from the oven for at least 15 minutes to 20 minutes. It gives time for the juices to really marinate into the pork. If you cut it to early all the juices will just run on your plate.
- Cover with Foil – We recommend covering with foil while the pork loin rest. This allows for the juice to really marinate into the pork loin resulting in juice, tender pork loin.
- Adding Bacon – When wrapping the pork loin in bacon, make sure the bacon strips overlaps each other. Securing with a toothpicks keeps the bacon tightly close to the pork loin.
- Roasting Pan – We recommend roasting in a roasting pan or a rimmed baking sheet to cook the bacon wrapped pork loin. You can add olive oil to the pan to prevent the pork loin from sticking.
- Make Ahead – You can easily prepare this pork loin ahead of time by seasoning and wrapping in bacon. Then place in the fridge until you are ready to bake.
What to Serve with Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin:
There are many different sides to serve with Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin. These are some of our favorites.
- Mashed Potatoes – Make your mashed potatoes in the crock pot for an easy side. It makes it easy to mash them and serve with this pork loin.
- Mac and Cheese – The ingredients are easy and combining the two flavors of cheese makes this recipe so flavorful. Everything gets placed in the crock pot for an easy process.
- Green Beans with Bacon – Once you try green beans cooked with bacon, there isn’t any going back to eating plain green beans. There isn’t any comparison because the bacon just adds so much flavor.
Substitutions and Additions:
- Change the Seasoning – Feel free to change the seasoning for this recipe. Add extra spice with some red pepper flakes or chili powder.
- Bacon – You can use turkey bacon for this recipe. We like using thin slice bacon but you can use any flavor you prefer.
- BBQ Sauce – Instead of using ketchup, mix the seasoning with BBQ sauce for a different flavor.
How to Store Leftovers:
- Storing – Refrigerate any leftovers in an air tight container for up to 5 days.
- Reheating your Leftovers – You can either microwave your leftovers or place them on a baking sheet and heat in a preheated oven of 350 degrees.
- Freezing your Leftovers – Pork loin can be frozen if placed in an air tight freezer safe container. It will stay good for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator when you are ready to serve.
