Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin

This dish is super easy to prepare and cook, and pork tenderloin is such a tender and lean cut of meat. Bacon and an apple juice and brown sugar glaze help to flavor the mild pork tenderloin.

Ingredients:

• 2 pork tenderloins, about 2 pounds
• grill seasoning for pork or chicken, about 2 teaspoons, or a similar seasoning blend  (I use Montreal Chicken seasoning)
• 6 slices bacon
• Glaze:
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup apple juice
• 1 tablespoon Dijon or grainy mustard
• dash cinnamon

Preparation:

Heat oven to 400°.

Line a 13x9-inch baking dish with foil; lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Trim excess fat and silver skin from the pork; rub all over with the seasoning blend. Wrap bacon around the pork tenderloins and arrange in the baking dish.

Blend glaze ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside.

Bake the pork for 30 to 40 minutes, or until temperature registers 150° on an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat. Brush the pork generously with the glaze mixture and continue baking for about 10 minutes, or until temperature reaches 160°. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
