Ingredients to Make Bacon Wrapped Maple Glazed Pork
This recipe is worth every minute that you spend on it. The juicy bacon combined with the maple pork is a flavor that makes my mouth water just by thinking about it! See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.
- Pork loin roast: A roast this size will feed about 6-8 people.
- Bacon: Your bacon will cook with the posrk creating a lot of juice and flavor.
- Salt and pepper: Use these to your own taste preference.
- Real maple syrup: Using real maple syrup will give you the best flavor and depth to this meat.
- Spicy brown mustard: If you don’t want any spice at all then you can use dijon mustard instead.
- Worcestershire sauce: This is the best mixture of sweet with a little bit of tang!
- Garlic cloves:Â If you don’t have any fresh cloves then you can use any minced garlic that you have on hand. 1/2 tsp equals about 1 clove of garlic.
- Cornstarch and water: These two mixed together will help to thicken the glaze.

This meal is going to knock your socks off. You are going to love it just as much as I did and it will become a new family fave!
- Wrap pork with bacon: In a 6 quart slow cooker place the pork on the bottom. Wrap the bacon around the pork layering it evenly on the top.

- Cook and make glaze: Cover and cook on low heat for 4 hours or until cooked through to a temperature of 145 degrees (for a light pink center). Remove the sauce from the slow cooker and heat on medium high heat in a medium sauce pan. Whisk together in a small bowl the cornstarch and water and add to the maple sauce. Let simmer until thickened.

Tips for Cooking Pork
This bacon wrapped maple glazed pork is so good but you don’t want to eat it until it’s been safely cooked! Here are a few tips to make your pork turn out perfect.
- Use a meat thermometer: Pork is done when the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees. Use a meat thermometer to double check this. You don’t want your meat to be undercooked!
- Let it rest: When your meat is done cooking, before you cut into it, then let it rest on a plate for 10 minutes. This is where the juices really settle into the meat and make it juicy and tender. Don’t skip this step!
How to Store Leftovers
If you have leftovers of this, you can store it and save it for later! It’s so good and makes a great dinner for the next night too!
- Refrigerator: You can store your leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They will last for 3-4 days.
- Reheat: You can easily reheat leftovers in your microwave. Cover them up and then cook them at 50% power for a minute or two (or until heated through). The bacon won’t be crispy but the flavor will be there!

So what’s the salt and pepper for? It’s not mentioned in the cooking instructions. And is the bacon actually wrapped around the pork or more laid or the top of it? I doubled the sauce and added small cubes sweet potatoes to the pot. Let’s see how it turns out.
Would honey be an ok substitute for the maple syrup? Not a maple lover….
Sure! That would work.
I made this with two pork tenderloin pieces, and it turned out wonderful! I did watch the temperature, and it took only 3 hours or so to reach 165 (we like our pork well done). The glaze was great, and made enough to spoon over the meat on our plates. Definitely a keeper!
Delicious! Loved every bite
This looks amazing! Can you adapt the recipe to cook in the oven, please ?
I have not tried it in the oven yet. Let me know what you do and how it turns out! Thanks so much for following along with me! XOXO
Does the bacon crisp under the broiler, or does it retain a softer texture from the moist heat cooking method? I am thinking my kids might enjoy this more if I adapted it to carefully oven roasting, then glazing and broiling. Thanks for your considered opinion.
This was delicious! The bacon gave the pork a wonderful, smoky flavor. At four hours, my pork registered close to 190 degrees, but the meat didn’t taste dry at all. Next time, though, I will check the temperature a tad earlier. Thank you for a wonderful recipe.
I made this recipe for our Christmas dinner tonight. Oh my, it was so good, turned out so moist and flavorful. All 10 of us thought this was one of the best pork roasts we have ever had! Thank you!
YAY!! That is great to hear! I am so glad it worked out so well! Thanks so much for sharing! XOXO
