BONELESS PORK ROAST

This was submitted by Jenn but is from the Joy of Cooking cookbook. Serves 6-8 people.



Boneless pork loin is best slow-roasted, but it is difficult to give exact cooking times,
since pork loins vary in diameter. In general a 3-pound boneless pork loin should
take 1 ¼ to 1½ hours total cooking time. If the roast is very small, less than 2 inches
in diameter, check the internal temperature after it has cooked at 250 for 30 min.
Otherwise, begin checking at 45 min. For the best results, test for doneness with a
thermometer.

 - Preheat oven to 500 F. Mix together:
1 T olive oil
1 T dried Thyme
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
 - Rub evenly over the entire surface of:
1 boneless center-cut pork loin roast (about 3 lbs)
 - Place meat in baking dish. Roast for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven to 250 F and roast
until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers 150 – 155, 1 - 1½
hrs (the temperature will continue to rise about 5 to 10 degrees out of the oven). Remove
to a cutting board, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let stand for 10 minutes.

Ritz Cracker Chicken

3 cups of chopped cooked chicken (I usually boil the chicken to cook it)
1 can of cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 (8 ounce) carton sour cream
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 1/2 cups crushed ritz crackers
1/4 cup butter, melted

Combine the first four ingredients; spoon into a lightly greased baking dish.  Combine crushed crackers and butter, and sprinkle over the chicken mixture.  Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 30 minutes.  About 4 servings
I usually make rice and serve it together and it feeds my family.
