Every heard the saying, “never trust a skinny cook”? Some of the finest chefs in the world are 100lbs soakin wet. I myself, love to cook and eat. I’m diabetic so I actually do a diabetic friendly version of this and it has amazing flavor! Sugar free maple syrup, Truvia light brown sugar, and the rest of the other ingredients. Very tasty and won’t spike your blood sugar.
People on here are saying it is over cooked. Remember this recipe is for a 4 to 6 lb pork loin. Not a little tenderloin. I made this and it was perfect and delicious.
I’ve always overcooked pork. I trying this recipe the long slow way . To be continued…
i cooked this with a 6.5lb pork loin but I cooked it at 280 for 5 hours. Very good!
This recipe is very tasting, but it’s so overcooked, the pork has lost its tenderness. Typically pork cooks very fast, within half an hour max.
Maybe cut the temperature back? Then the last 20 minutes turn on the broiler to crisp up the bacon? I usually season with lemon pepper and onion slices and cook on low heat (280° ) for about 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Melts in your mouth so this is a new recipe for me. Fingers crossed!
Very good easy to make
I used honey instead of maple. Also used fresh garlic instead of powder. Applewood smoked bacon pairs nicely too. As to the comment about about people in the south being overweight…Not all depict that image. 5’8 126 lbs Southern MS proud. We r about food, family, and long lasting table conversations. Yes-this state has its health issues but we welcome you anytime to try our southern hospitality at its best! Lean cooking or deep fried to taste.
Note he used the name John Doe?
No wonder people in the south are so overweight.
Having a dinner party hoping this recipe is good from all the comments
How would you modify the recipe to remove the sweet stuff (maple and sugar)?
Agree 100%
Good flavor. But way too well done. Need to cut cooking time in half.
Maybe cut the temperature back? Then the last 20 minutes turn on the broiler to crisp up the bacon? I usually season with lemon pepper and onion slices and cook on low heat (280° ) for about 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Melts in your mouth so this is a new recipe for me. Fingers crossed!
