How Long To Cook Pork
How Long it takes your pork to cook will depend on the size and thickness so use the cooking time as an estimate. Pork loin typically takes 20 to 25 minutes a pound. Pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Use an instant-read thermometer to help you determine when it is done. Overcooked pork will taste dry and tough.

Recipe adapted from Sweet Tea and Cornbread
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!
