Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Traeger, or any other smoker, to 250°F.
  • Butterfly the tenderloin, by cutting it in half lengthwise. Don't cut through the tenderloin. You can open it as a book, and then use a meat tenderizer/mallet for flattening it to 1/4 inch thickness.
  • In a bowl, combine the cream cheese with bacon, cheddar, mozzarella and spinach.
  • Spread the cheese mixture onto the tenderloin. Roll it up jelly-roll style. It can be secured with cooking twine. The cajun seasoning rub should be applied to the tenderloin.
  • Place the tenderloin in a pan or grill pan, and then heat the Traeger.
  • Cook for 45 minutes to an hour, or until internal temperature reaches 140°F-143°F.
  • Cover the tenderloin with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
