Ingredients

  • 16 slices bacon
  • 2 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 6 Tablespoon yellow mustard
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up. Pat pork dry with paper towels.
  • In a small bowl, mix the mustard, brown sugar, salt, pepper, thyme, garlic, and cayenne pepper. Measure 6 tablespoons of sauce into another bowl, then set the remaining sauce aside to serve with the pork later.
  • Use a pastry brush to brush the 6 tablespoons of sauce all over the pork tenderloins. Wrap each pork tenderloin with 8 pieces of bacon, slightly overlapping each piece and tucking the ends of the bacon under the tenderloin or securing with toothpicks if needed.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the pork reaches 140 degrees F when tested with an instant read digital meat thermometer.
  • Turn the oven to broil, and broil 2-3 minutes, just until the bacon on the top of the wrapped tenderloins is crisp.
  • Remove from the oven and tent with foil. Let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes, during which time the temperature will continue to rise another 5 degrees to 145 degrees F when tested with an instant read digital meat thermometer.
  • Slice and serve with the reserved mustard sauce on the side.
