Cooking “Stuffed Elephant Trunk” for gameday. Turned out awesome

Mayyyyyybe. It’s a massive 8lb loin

But on gameday it’s stuffed elephant trunk.

It ain’t the rain i’m worried about, it’s being able to get the fire started and the pit up to temp for long enough in a deluge

We’ve got tents but I worry that the heat coming out the chimney will melt them. Looking at the weather coming in tomorrow it’s gonna be nasty in the morning

Grilled under one for St Aloysius fair last weekend. The heat on tent wasn’t the issue, it was all the damn smoke. Keep temp 250 until rain passes then add more charcoal.

What is in the inside mixture? That looks amazing!

Either FULLY cook it at home and then reheat at the tailgate

Or cook it at the tailgate.

So I started out sautéing onions, garlic, an Anaheim pepper, a jalapeño pepper, deer sausage and Italian sausage.

Then mixed in the cream cheese once those were cooked.

I cut the Elephant Trunk (8lbs) and ran the knife so goes in a spiral then get a flat meat surface to work with.

Then laid down about 4lbs of bacon, laid the meat on, spooned out the filling generously, rolled it up, wrapped it in bacon from
One side then got more bacon and wrapped it from the other side.

Wrapped in 2 layers of foil.

Looks fantastic! I will be doing one of these soon! Thanks! Oh, I assume that is a pork tenderloin?
