Ingredients

  • 1 1-2 pound pork tenderloin

  • 6 to 8 slices of cooked bacon, chopped
  • 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons cajun seasoning rub

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Traeger or other smoker to 250°F. 

  2. 2

    Butterfly the tenderloin by slicing it in half, lengthwise. Do not cut all the way through. Open it like a book and use a meat tenderizer/mallet to pound it flat to 1/4 inch thick. 

  3. 3

    Mix the cream cheese, bacon, cheddar, mozzarella, and spinach in a bowl. 

  4. 4

    Spread the cheese mixture on the tenderloin and roll it up jelly-roll fashion. Secure it with cooking twine. Cover the tenderloin with the cajun seasoning rub.

  5. 5

    Place the tenderloin on a baking pan or grill pan and put it in the pre-heated Traeger. 

  6. 6

    Cook for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F - 143°F. 

  7. 7

    Remove the tenderloin and cover it with a sheet of foil for 10 minutes to rest before you slice it.
