How to Make Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin

  4. Generously season with Head Country seasoning (amount to taste).
  5. Wrap the tenderloin tightly with 8-10 slices of bacon, securing the bacon in place with toothpicks.
  6. Place the bacon-wrapped tenderloin in a roasting pan.
  7. Roast for 45-55 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F (63°C).
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
