With all the expansion talk flying around, I hope this takes it off your mind, just for a little while anyway!! Colorado is GONE!, and I'm not sure what is going to happen when I gather with my wife's family on Thanksgiving,,,,they, I think I just puked a little, like CU!! The holidays will be interesting anyway! Sorry, I got sidetracked there.
Ok, on to the good stuff now. Wasn't quite sure what to do this time but as I walked through the grocery store and couldn't find a nice Brisket, A stuffed pork loin just sounded really good!
I started with a 4lb Pork loin and cut it butterfly style. To me, that is cutting off a 2" thick piece then slicing that 2" piece down the middle but not quite all the way through. It will look like a butterfly after cutting it. Lay the loin open and place your stuffing in the center of the cut. When it came to the stuffing, I just used some good ol Stove Top stuffing. I know, It sounds cheap and lazy but it works!
After stuffing the center of the loin, pull the two sides together, wrap it with bacon and use toothpicks to keep it all together. As far as seasoning goes, I used some Chicago steak seasoning sprinkled over the top of the loin, but as always, season it with what you like best.
I put the loins in the smoker at a temp of 190 for 2 hrs. and smoked it with mostly Cherry wood and just a little Mesquite. The nice thing about wrapping it with bacon is that the juices from the bacon settle into the loin and give it a really good flavor as well as keeps the pork loin moist!! I pulled the pork from the smoker when the internal temp reached 155 and let it rest for about 20 min. covered in aluminum foil. It was really moist and had an awesome flavor!! I will definitely cook these again because it's an easy recipe with very little prep time and the taste was excellent! Any questions or comments are appreciated and I know this recipe is short, so I'll help with responses and comments ASAP.
Hopefully this will take your mind off the expansion hoopla for just a little while. I can't wait for Big Red to play Michigan and finally shut their mouths about the '97 National Championship! GBR!!!!

I tell you, as a ..
.. Buckeye fan, I am really glad to have Nebraska join the Big 10. The obvious benefits are Nebraska’s aththletic and academic chops, but as a bonus we’re getting the culinary ‘chops’, or rather loin. We typically cajun season and grill our pork loin for family cookouts; this looks like a really good twist. Thanks for he article.
Granted, I don't know what down it is..
Thank you
I’ve enjoyed doing these this off season. You’ll have to check out the other posted Off Season Recipes. Lot’s of good stuff!!

Wouldn't you know it, we had
..grilled pork loin for dinner last night, with our ususal side dish of corn/black bean/cilantro salad. Of course, to prep this dish, my job was to husk the corn. Yes, we are all Cornhuskers now.
Granted, I don't know what down it is..
Saw this photo..
..and seriously thought that I smelled smoke. Like charcoal smoke. I’m going to be firing up my smoker about 3-4 times per week now. Gotta love summer!
Oh, and thanks for finally getting up some photos. Makes a huge difference.
Maybe next week you could do a smoked Bison recipe of some kind….in honor of all the times we smoked CU over the last 50 years?

I have a great idea.
I’m taking the kids up to Gavins Point in August. I’ll bring the bison meat and beer, and you bring the smoker.

here from Bruin Nation
Was kinda bummed when I heard we were trying to get out of our home and home with you guys (to play Bama in a neutral site contest) as I have always wanted to visit Lincoln and have a good time with from what i heard the best fans in college football. Not to mention folks who know how to cook.
But on a side note I am going to defintely try this recipe out. Im sucker for pig, and dont worry we will be sure to grill up some buffs for you guys in the future, LOL.
A bruin is good forever, a Trojan is only good... ahh eff it, just use tin foil
Gonna try to do a farewell recipe
for CU. I know it’s a little late, but any suggestions, or even a catchy headline will be welcomed!

How about smoked Buffalo Tenderloin: A tender cut of meat, in honor of those softies to the west!
Marinated in Coors light, and tied up with hemp string.
