bacon wrapped pork tenderloin

pork tenderloins were on sale at the super market by my house so i decided i would broaden my meat-cooking horizons and buy one. i found this recipe on pinterest after searching for something i can make with this big hunk of meat (i had my husband pick it up so i was in for a huge surprise when he came home with what looked like a leg. i was immediately turned off by the idea but i digress) anyways this was one of the most promising recipes that i found... of course- its wrapped in bacon. i have yet to find a recipe that my family hasn't liked that has bacon as one of its main ingredients.

i think one of the best things about this recipe is that it was super simple and tasted like it would be more complex. this is something that i would make for a holiday that i was hosting at my house!

(i let it cook a little longer after this pic because my husband requires VERY CRISP bacon)

1 pork tenderloin

1 teaspoon (again, i dont measure i just sprinkled it all over the tenderloin) seasoning (McCormick's grill mates fiery five pepper blend is a personal favorite of mine that i use on EVERYTHING)

Bacon slices

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Sprinkle seasoning over pork.

 

Wrap in bacon and secure with toothpicks.

Place pork on rack in an aluminum foil-lined roasting pan. Bake at 425 for 35-45 minutes or until bacon is crisp. (Pork is ready when meat thermometer registers 155 degrees)
