Bacon Wrapped and Stuffed Pork Loin

Roasted Pork LoinImage by powerplantop via Flickr
Friends of our gave us the idea to stuff a pork loin. The first time we tried it did not fare so well. The pork wasn't pounded thin enough and there was too much in the middle and it just oozed out everywhere. The next time worked great. Keeping it held together with the bacon helped and added great flavor.
