My entire family loved this. Next time, I will make twice as much!
There is something really nice about a pork tenderloin wrapped in crispy bacon and cooked with a bit of brown sugar. This meal reminds me of Sunday dinners and get-togethers with loved ones. It is a satisfying and delicious meal that is both savory and a little sweet. The bacon gives a nice crispy texture, and the brown sugar makes it have a delicious shiny coating. Great for any event, this recipe will soon be loved by your family.
This pork tenderloin with bacon and brown sugar goes great with mashed potatoes and green beans or a salad. For a bit of sweetness, you can serve it with cooked carrots or a side of applesauce. Having some fresh bread with a crispy crust on the side will absorb any extra sauce and make the meal feel whole.
Pork Tenderloin with Bacon and Brown Sugar
Number of portions: 4-6 servings
List of items needed to make a recipe.
1 piece of pork tenderloin weighing approximately 1.5-2 pounds.
8 to 10 pieces of bacon
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1 tablespoon Mustard from Dijon
1 teaspoon of powdered garlic
1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika
Add salt and pepper according to your preference.
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Instructions
Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C) before using it.
Remove any extra fat and thin membrane from the pork tenderloin.
In a little bowl, combine brown sugar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Spread the mix of spices all over the pork tenderloin.
Put the bacon slices around the tenderloin and use toothpicks to hold the ends together if needed.
Warm olive oil in a skillet that can be used in the oven on medium heat. Once the pan is hot, put the pork tenderloin in and cook on all sides until the bacon is crunchy, which should take around 5-7 minutes.
Put the pan in the oven that has been preheated and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork inside reaches a temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Take it out of the oven and allow it to sit for 5 minutes before cutting.
Serve and have fun!
Different Types and Advice
To make it a little spicy, sprinkle a bit of cayenne pepper onto the spice mix. If someone in your family is a picky eater and doesn’t like mustard, you can skip it, and the meal will still taste great. You can also try using different spices, like a bit of rosemary or thyme, to give your dish a natural taste. For a stronger flavor, try using thick slices of bacon smoked with hickory.
