salt1 tablespoon
3
Preheat your oven to 250°F.
4
Lay out the bacon strips, slightly overlapping each one for the length of your roast. Then, lay the roast on top of the bacon and tightly wrap the bacon around it. This will help keep the roast moist and give it extra flavor.
5
Lightly oil a skillet and place the roast, with the bacon overlap side facing down.
6
Bake the roast for ⏱️ 30 minutes, then increase the oven temperature to 450°F and cook for another ⏱️ 45 minutes or until the internal temperature has reached about 145°F.
7
Once the roast is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for ⏱️ 20 minutes. If you want, you can tent the roast with foil to keep it warm while it rests.
