Things To Grab
Directions
Arrange bacon slices, in a single layer, crosswise and adjacent to each other on the center of foil. Place pork loin perpendicularly on top of bacon. Wrap bacon around pork loin; secure with wooden toothpicks. Drizzle maple syrup over top. Sprinkle with brown sugar; turn to coat all sides. Bring up long sides of foil; double-fold top. Double fold ends to seal.
Grill foil-wrapped pork loin, without turning, 25 to 30 minutes or until pork reaches 145 degrees. Remove from grill. Carefully unwrap pork loin; reserving foil.
Reduce heat to lowest setting for direct cooking. Using a large metal spatula, place pork on grill rack. Grill for 10 to 15 minutes or until 155 degrees and bacon is slightly crisp, turning occasionally. Return pork to reserved foil; drizzle with barbecue sauce. Wrap loosely; let rest 5 minutes. Remove toothpicks and slice before serving.
Meanwhile, prepare macaroni and cheese dinner according to package directions using water, butter, and milk. Serve macaroni and cheese with pork slices
