Always hunting a sale , picked these up at the local Food Lion for $1.99 lb.

Gave them a 4 hr soak in Tony C's creole butter then patted dry.
Coated one with Meat Church Honey Hog
and one (mine) with MC Holy Gospel for a little extra kick.

Had 1 lb of thick cut bacon so added a layer of Kosmo's Q Honey Pecan and put them in the oven for about 15 minutes @ 250 to help render the fat.

Then moved to a mesh rack for moving ease and wrapping process. Still need more practice but no toothpicks were harmed !

MBGF 1050 set at 250 with pecan chunks added to the coal. And as usual had to have cream cheese along for the ride !

That gives enough time for the requested,
ie demanded, melted potatoes !
In the pan with bacon grease and butter and a heavy sprinkling of Mc roasted garlic and herb.

After an hr or so the pork was around 140 and called done. Bacon was nice and a good bite and flavor. Tenderloin was very juicy and full of flavor from the creole bath and rub.

And the plate. Spuds were great 2 nights in a row. I love how the broth kicks up the herbs in the skillet and floats them to the top !
No ...they are not burned just loaded lol.
Smoked cream cheese on a Ritz with a dab of jalapeno pepper jelly. YUM YUM

Looks awesome Kieth! Those potatoes are definitely the trend now, my wife randomly asked me to do some again tonight even though we had just finished our chili🤣 That pork looks perfect and good call on the cream cheese. I should start doing that with each cook!

Haha thanks Jed they've definitely become a hit at my house too and she's already talking about the weekend menu 😀. We love the CC but I usually let the girls enjoy the bulk of it . Daughter even takes it to work the next day ....if there's any left 🤣

Thanks Sven it was very tasty.
Think I'll use a bacon weave next time.

Looks great Keith! And I definitely see a trend in taters lately! We had taters left from night before so just heated them back up in cast iron pan in some butter then of course sprinkled with cheese! And of course the challah bread for dessert!

Thanks Ryan .
Taters ? Leftovers? Used in the same sentence lol ? I'm sure they were just as good reheated !
And I'm still in search of the duck fat !
Sure could use a couple of FT of that bread 😁

Good looking plate. Guess I need to try the smoked cream cheese. I go through a lot of cream cheese while doing the low carb thing. Seems like everything uses it.

Thanks Brian and you've gotta try it !
Just lather it up with your favorite rub and let it ride . We've come to prefer the Chipotle roasted garlic.

Great looking good! Lots of layers of flavor on the pork with the Mest Church and Kosmo.
 
Thanks Jeff and everyone was happy with the flavors. I need to take the time to come up my own concoction but man I love the MC and Kosmos. And the wife demands the Honey Hog on all pork !
And as you know....
Happy wife = happy life 😊
