Balsamic Mushroom & Onion Stuffed Pork Loin

[millerbuilds]

Got a steal on a whole pork loin at Costco, so we made up some Carnitas, but still had a chunk of the loin left.
Decided today to stuff it with a Balsamic Mushroom and Onion mixture (plus a few other items) will be throwing it on the PBC in a couple hours.
In trying to be healthy(er), I skipped the bacon wrap and went with a coating of mayo. Hopefully the stuffing and mayo will keep it juicy.

I could not skip the bacon entirely....

left some of the bacon fat in the pan...

Let the filling simmer with Balsamic vinegar

Cream cheese with salt and pepper

Some bacon...

The balsamic mushroom and onion filling

I added some spinach before rolling

Coated with mayo and some rub. Sitting and waiting to hit the smoker.

More to come.....

Thanks for looking,

Smoke ON!

Nice smoke ring from the cherry and post oak

The Loin turned out awesome, one of my better cooks in a while. The balsamic onion and mushroom with the smoothness of the cream cheese paired so well with the perfect level of smoke. The meat was super tender and moist, which I had been most afraid of since I did not brine or bacon wrap. I did not miss the bacon wrap as much as I expected. We made some Brussel Sprouts, Garlic Butter Noodles and fresh Sourdough Bread to round out the meal.

This one is going in my book of favorites!!
