Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 2 slices bacon
  • 2 cups diced butternut squash
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons crumbed blue cheese, divided
  • 3 tablespoons freshly chopped sage leaves, divided
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (4-pound) boneless pork loin
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
  • 1/4 cup dry sherry
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a roasting pan with cooking spray.

Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove from pan, reserving fat in pan, and crumble into small pieces. To the same pan, add squash and onion and cook 3 minutes, until onion is soft. Remove from heat, add to a large bowl with the crumbled bacon, bread crumbs, 1/2 cup of the blue cheese, 2 tablespoons of the sage, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.

Butterfly pork on a flat surface and spread stuffing evenly over meat. Roll up pork and tie with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals. Season pork all over with salt and black pepper and transfer to prepared pan. Roast 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F and bake 45 more minutes, until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F for medium-well. Let pork rest 10 minutes before cutting crosswise into 1-inch thick slices.

In a small saucepan, whisk together chicken broth, sherry and cornstarch. Set pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Add remaining 2 tablespoons blue cheese and tablespoon of sage and simmer 1 minute, until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Serve 1/2 of the pork with all of the sauce spooned over top. Reserve remaining pork for quesadillas.

    This recipe was so savory. I didn't want to finish my plate because it would be gone. The blue cheese just melts in your mouth! LOVE!

    We totally enjoyed this and would rate it EXCELLENT. The only thing I had a problem with was the prep time. Not being a chef it took me a lot longer to dice the squash and I had a problem with the chicken broth in that it said "1 cup, divided" but didn't say where the other half of the broth was to go. I just decided to use the entire cup in the gravy and it worked fine. This needs to be corrected. We wil definitely have it again!
