Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450º. Line a roasting pan or baking sheet with foil and fit with a greased roasting rack.
2. Mix honey and Dijon mustard in a small bowl before diving the mixture into two portions, set to the side.
3. Pat pork dry then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
4. Wrap tenderloin with bacon strips crosswise, securing the end of the strip by tucking it under the tenderloin.
5. Brush half of honey-Dijon glaze on top and sides of tenderloin.
6. Place pork on prepared roasting rack and put in pre-heated oven.
7. Roast pork until bacon is nicely browned, approx. 30 minutes. Check internal temperature as it is most likely undercooked at this point.
8. Cover tenderloin with foil to prevent bacon burning. Return to oven for approx. 10 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145º.
9. Remove tenderloin from oven and rest for 15 minutes.
10. Brush pork with remaining honey-Dijon glaze and serve.
