Stuffed Green Chili Pork Tenderloin
Hey Y'all,
I hope that everyone is enjoying their summer so far. We have been busy working and cooking and planning a vacation towards the end of summer. I have been harvesting the garden and finally with so much needed rain it is growing. The herbs are doing great in their pots and it is easy to access. I love not having to pay like $2 to $4 per herb at the grocery store. I can just go outside and pick them myself. The Stuffed Green Chili Pork Tenderloin is spicy but cooling at the same time with the cheese oozing out of the sides.
For the ingredients you will need 1 - 2 lb. Pork Loin, 1 tbsp. Olive Oil, 1 tbsp. Black Pepper, 1 tbsp. Lemon Pepper, 3/4 lb. block Pepper Jack Cheese, 2 cans whole Green Chilies, and 1/2 cup Chicken Stock.
Pre heat your oven to 400. Take the pork out of the package and rinse it off and pat dry. Rub the pork loin down with olive oil, black pepper, and lemon pepper. Lay the loin on a cutting board. Starting 1 inch from the end, make a 3/4 inch deep cut lengthwise down the center of the loin stopping 1 inch before the end. Cut the block of cheese into 1/4 inch pieces. Open the can of green chilies and pat down them down to remove the extra juice. Stuff the cheese into each green chili. Lay the chilies into the pork loin and season with more black pepper and lemon pepper. Seal the loin around the chilies with cooking twine. Place the loin on a piece of foil and create a boat shape. Pour the stock inside of the foil and seal the foil. Place in a pyrex dish. Bake at 400 for about 35 - 45 minutes or until the pork reaches internal temperature at 160. Once it has finished cooking let it stand for about 10 minutes so all the juices stay inside the meat and keep it juicy. Slice and serve with your favorite BBQ sauce.

This dish is absolutely amazing!!!! You get that spicy flavor from the chilies and cheese but then towards the end of the dish you get a bit of tang from the lemon pepper seasoning. The stock is able to keep the pork loin moist and tender. We added a little bit of cheddar cheese to it and gave a great balance to the spice of the pepper jack cheese. I served it with a peach whiskey bbq sauce and the sweet smokey flavor complimented the pork loin. I hope that your family and friends enjoy this dish as much as mine did. Next time I am going to bring you a Strawberry Meringue Cake. It was on the cover of Southern Living Magazine and is so delicious and will impress everyone. Have a wonderful day and see y'all next time.
This sounds delicious! I may have to try it... :)
