Bacon Wrapped Roast Stuffed Pork Loin

I must say that this Bacon Wrapped Roast Stuffed Pork Loin is a perfect dish to enjoy with your family members during this festive season! ^0^ Glad that everyone love this tender and moist roast stuffed pork loin. Instead of using a oven, the stuffed pork loin and the side roasted vegetables are all done in the Happy Call Pan!! 

Not a very clear picture on the stuffing layers. My kitchen was like a war zone while preparing the ingredients hahahah...hands too busy to take more detail picture >.<"

 Tying up the stuffed pork loin with baking string to ensure the whole roll maintain its shape while cooking.

Pan roasting in Happy Call Pan. Brown all four sides before covering the lid and cook till done.

 Wonderful looking roast stuffed pork loin!
