If using toothpicks, be sure to push them into the pork all the way or you won't be able to sear the bacon. Very easy with few ingredients. Will definitely be making this again.

I made this tonight and it worked pretty well. I had a tough time searing the loin--handling a hot greasy hunk of meat is a little tricky! I settled for a good sear on the easy sides and let the oven do the rest.
I put a probe thermometer deep into the middle of the roast, pulled it when it hit 140 degrees, and let it stand for ten minutes or so. The internal temp went up to 147. It was juicy and moist and perfect.
The big problem I had was losing the toothpicks--I pushed them all the way per the previous comment, but then I couldn't find them and a couple made it to the served portions. Not the end of the world, but something to be aware of. Maybe count them as you put them in and make sure you get them all before serving.
In any case, yum, and my guest eagerly took leftovers home. There were only two of us, so there were lots of leftovers, but the 4-pound roast could easily have served 8 people, if not 10!

So moist and delicious....needed no seasoning (save a little salt). But I bypassed the string and toothpicks, with the raw roast still a little wet from rinsing, the bacon stayed on nicely, and I wrapped diagonally so it held itself on...anyway...BRAVO!!

I'm not a huge fan of pork, but this recipe is a keeper! I didn't use toothpicks. The bacon stuck to the pork loin well enough to sear and to transfer. The ppork was very tender and moist. I was surprised at how much flavor the bacon added. I used a rather large loin. I did not use the smaller tenderloin, so maybe that is why it took so long to cook. Thanks for the recipe!!
