Wow, what a fun recipe! It’s been way too long since we’ve made a stuffed pork loin, and I totally love this idea. I’m thinking this one packs a ton of flavor, and I could definitely see it showing up in our kitchen soon. Delicious!
Thank you David!! It was really delicious!

Thank you Allie!! I love caramelized onions too! soo good! 🙂
I just bought a pork loin the other day and threw it in the freezer because couldn’t think of any new recipes for it and I’m bored with my usual ones. I’m taking it back out to try your recipe. Love the side of potatoes and mushrooms! Yum!! Gotta love one pot meals too 🙂
Take it out! and try it cause it’s really good! maybe after having your delicious spicy buffalo dip! 🙂
Flavorful, but mine turned out a little dry by the time the proper temp was reached. Could have used more garlic and would recommend Vidalia onions – so sweet !
Served an au jus which added to the dish.
Steamed broccoli complimented the potatoes and mushrooms.
Ultimately this dish is a keeper allowing you to customize without taking away from the heart of it.
