Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 9 x 13 inch roasting pan with nonstick cooking spray for easier clean-up.

If present, trim any excess fat or silver skin from the pork tenderloin.

In a small bowl, mix together the mustard, brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, smoked paprika.

Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on a cutting board, slightly overlapping them (see photos). Pat pork tenderloin dry with a paper towel and place it on top of the bacon.

Rub the spice mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin, ensuring it is well coated. .

Fold the bacon over the pork tenderloin, overlapping as needed. Carefully flip the bacon wrapped tenderloin over and place it in the prepared pan so the ends of the bacon are underneath the tenderloin. If you’re having difficulty, you can use toothpicks or kitchen twine to secure the bacon (see note).

Roast in the preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F when measured with a meat thermometer (the time range is long because it will vary based on the thickness of your pork tenderloin, the starting temperature of the pork, and your oven).

Remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.

If you used them, remove the toothpicks or kitchen twine before slicing and serving. Slice the tenderloin into medallions and serve.
