Steps

1. ### Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Pork Tenderloin Recipe
3. #### Ingredients:
4. - **2 pork tenderloins** (about 1 pound each)
5. - **8 slices of bacon**
6. - **1/2 cup breadcrumbs** or panko
7. - **1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese**
8. - **1 small onion, finely chopped**
9. - **3 garlic cloves, minced**
10. - **1 teaspoon dried thyme**
11. - **Salt and pepper to taste**
12. - **Optional: 1 tablespoon olive oil**
14. #### Instructions:
16. 1. **Preparation of Pork Tenderloins**:
17. - Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (205°C). Make sure the pork tenderloins are at room temperature.
18. - Cut a pocket lengthwise down each tenderloin, being careful not to cut all the way through. The goal is to create a cavity for stuffing.
20. 2. **Stuffed Filling**:
21. - In a small bowl, mix together breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
22. - Stuff this mixture into each pork tenderloin pocket. Press down gently to ensure the stuffing stays in place.
24. 3. **Bacon Wrapping**:
25. - Place 4 slices of bacon over one end of a pork tenderloin, pulling them tightly around the stuffed meat. Crimp the edges with kitchen twine or secure with toothpicks.
26. - Repeat this process for the second piece of pork and bacon. Make sure the bacon is evenly wrapped.
28. 4. **Baking**:
29. - Place the bacon-wrapped pork on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, if desired. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
30. - Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 145°F (63°C).
31. - If you want to add an extra layer of flavor, drizzle a bit of olive oil over the bacon before baking.
33. 5. **Resting and Slicing**:
34. - Let the pork rest for about 5 minutes after removing from the oven.
35. - Slice the pork tenderloins diagonally or crosswise to serve. This presentation makes the dish look impressive on any dinner table!
37. #### Tips & Variations:
38. - For a healthier option, you can use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon.
39. - You could also experiment with different herbs and spices in the stuffing mixture for unique flavors.
