Easy Stuffed Pork Roast

1 Pkg. Stove Top Stuffing for Pork
1 Boneless whole pork loin roast (3-4 pounds)

Make stuffing according to box directions. Set aside.

Starting about a third in from one side, make a lengthwise slit in the roast to within ½ inch of bottom. Turn roast over and make another lengthwise slit, starting from a third in from the opposite side. Open roast, so that it lies flat; cover with plastic wrap. Flatten to ¾ inch thickness. Remove plastic wrap.

Sprinkle salt and pepper over roast. Spread stuffing mix over meat to within 1 inch of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Tie several times with kitchen string and secure ends with toothpicks.
Place seam down on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Rub oil all over roast. Sprinkle salt and pepper.

Cover and bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Uncover. Bake 60-70 minutes longer or until meat thermometer reads 160. Discard toothpicks. Let stand 10-15 minutes before slicing. Yield: 12-14 servings.

Vikki’s Tips: Be creative with the stuffing. Add some sautéed onions, celery, apples or raisins.

Serve with creamy peppercorn gravy. (A package brand works fine-Knorr). Great with mashed red potatoes and green beans.
