Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin
Bacon makes everything better, doesn’t it?
In the case of pork tenderloin, that theory proves to be true indeed.
The fat from the bacon renders into the pork tenderloin as it bakes, giving this lean meat incredible flavor, while keeping the pork tenderloin from becoming dry.
I also add a maple glaze to the bacon, because maple and pork are a match made in heaven! Not to mention the maple syrup helps to balance the saltiness in this oven roasted pork.
