Sausage Stuffed, Bacon Wrapped, Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Apples & Cider Sauce

“For some options – for the filling you could substitute feta with goat cheese, or omit all together.” THE blonde bomber

Ingredients:

Filling:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 large yellow onion, chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 pound sausage, casings removed

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped

1 medium Granny Smith apple, cubed

1 cup portabello mushrooms, roughly chopped

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup sour cream

4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Pork:

3 1/2 – 4 pound pork loin

16 slices bacon, I used 13, 6×7, depending on the size of your roast

4 medium apples, quartered, I used Fuji

1 cup hard cider

Directions:

Add garlic, sausage, rosemary and apples; cook, stirring occasionally. 

Stir in salt and pepper.

Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.

In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream and feta; set aside.

Pork:

To butterfly, put pork loin on a work surface with short end facing you.

Holding a long, thin sharp knife parallel to work surface and beginning along one long side, 
cut 1/2″ above underside of roast.

Continue slicing inward, pulling back the meat with your free hand and unrolling the roast 
like a carpet, until the entire loin is flat.

Cover with a sheet of plastic wrap.

Using a meat mallet, pound to an even thickness.

Uncover pork, spread cheese mixture evenly over loin, leaving a 1 inch border. 

Evenly distribute sausage mixture over cheese. 

Roll pork into a tight cylinder. 

Tie roast securely with kitchen twine in 1″ intervals. 

Wrap bacon lattice over roast.

Preheat oven to 400°.
