Roasted Pork Loin

A tasty way to prepare a pork loin/roast. Tasty with bulls eye!

Roasted Pork Loin

• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
• 1/2 cup finely chopped green pepper*
• 3 tbsp margarine
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp ground mustard
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 (4lb) boneless pork loin roast

In skillet, combine the first 12 ingredients and saute until tender. Untie roast and separate. Randomly cut about 20 deep slits, 1 inch wide, on the inside surface of roast. Fill slits with some of the vegetable mixture and retie roast. Place on a rack in a shallow baking pan. Spread remaining vegetable mixture on outside of roast. Bake, uncovered, at 325 for 2-3 hours or until meat thermometer reads 160-170 degrees F. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

* I omitted the green pepper and found it to be quite tasty without.
