Equipment

  • Conventional Oven

Ingredients

  • 1 pork loin (about 3 pounds, see notes above)
  • 16 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers
  • 1 cup bacon cooked, crumbled
  • 1 ounce pesto seasoning (Knorr or McCormick brand can be found by the gravy/dressing mixes)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • paprika to taste

Instructions

  • If you are using a pork loin, cut it almost in half, then cut the halves almost in half again so that you kind of unfold it a few times and then pound it out flat to 1/2" thickness.

  • Once the pork is flat and has a good surface area, spread the cream cheese all over the top. Lay the roasted red peppers over the cream cheese then sprinkle on the crumbled bacon. Evenly sprinkle on the packages dried pesto seasoning and lay the spinach leaves all over the top.

  • Roll the pork up (like you would if you were making cinnamon rolls) and tie it shut with 3 or 4 pieces of kitchen twine if needed. Next, rub olive oil, paprika, salt and pepper all over the pork and place in a greased baking sheet.

Notes

This makes quite a lot so you can make ahead and freeze portions if you prefer. After rolling, but before baking cut it into thirds or fourths. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze the extra portions.
