Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pork tenderloin
3 slices bread, torn into small pieces
¼ cup butter, melted
3 tablespoons poultry seasoning
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1 stalk celery, chopped fine
salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 slices bacon

Steps:

  • Slice the pork almost in half, but do not cut all the way through. Butterfly the sides until the pork is open enough to stuff.
  • Mix torn bread, melted butter, poultry seasoning, onion, and celery in a bowl until bread is evenly coated with butter and seasoning; season with salt and pepper. Stuff the pork tenderloin with the bread mixture. Wrap the pork around the filling and secure closed with toothpicks. Wrap bacon slices around the stuffed tenderloin. Season top of tenderloin with black pepper.

Tips for Cooking Stuffed Pork Tenderloin:

- Use high-quality, thick-cut bacon for wrapping. Thin bacon will cook too quickly and become crispy, while thick-cut bacon will render slowly and provide a more flavorful, chewy texture. - Don't overcook the pork tenderloin. It should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, or 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium. - Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish. - Be careful when slicing the pork tenderloin. Use a sharp knife and cut against the grain of the meat. This will help to prevent the meat from becoming tough. - If you are using a stuffing that contains bread or breadcrumbs, be sure to moisten it with a little bit of broth or milk. This will help to prevent the stuffing from becoming dry and crumbly. - Experiment with different stuffing recipes. There are endless possibilities, so feel free to get creative and find a stuffing that you and your family love.

Conclusion:

Bacon-wrapped stuffed pork tenderloin is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any special occasion. It is relatively easy to make, and the results are always impressive. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a dish that will wow your guests and leave them wanting more.
