Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin
I love pork tenderloin. It is so good, you really don't even have to do anything to it at all. It is also so easy because you can just put it in the oven, set the timer, and forget about it. (I like to take a short nap during the cooking time.) This recipe is so good, and really impressive-looking. Also, pork tenderloin is so affordable, a large one costing about $8.00 lasts us for two meals! This picture is only half of the one I bought at the store!
1 pork tenderloin, about 1 pound or so
2 cloves finely chopped garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
1 pound bacon
2 tablespoons maple syrup
salt and pepper
olive oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together the sage and garlic with a little olive oil and spread all over the pork. Liberally salt and pepper the pork. Using a spoon, evenly cover the pork with maple syrup. Take the bacon slices and wrap the pork, tucking the ends underneath. Slightly overlap the slices and put in the oven for about an hour. Take out when thermometer reads 165 degrees. Make sure you let is sit for about 15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
