Steps
## Cornbread Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin Recipe
### Ingredients:
- **1 pound pork tenderloin**
- **8 slices bacon, chopped into small pieces (for crumble)**
- **1 ½ cups cornbread mix**
- **2 large eggs, beaten**
- **1 teaspoon dried thyme**
- **1/4 teaspoon salt**
- **1/4 teaspoon black pepper**
- **3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (optional)**
### Instructions:
#### Step 1: Prepare the Pork Tenderloin
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Rinse the pork tenderloin under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.
#### Step 2: Stuff the Cornbread Mixture
1. In a bowl, mix together the cornbread mix, beaten eggs, thyme, salt, and pepper.
2. Spread half of the mixture along one lengthwise side of the pork tenderloin, leaving about an inch at each end.
3. Place the bacon crumbles on top of the cornbread mix.
#### Step 3: Wrap with Bacon
1. Starting from the end without the filling, carefully wrap the bacon around the pork, securing it tightly to prevent any leaks during cooking.
2. Repeat this process until you reach the other side, overlapping the bacon slightly as needed.
#### Step 4: Baste and Bake
1. Place the stuffed pork tenderloin on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. If desired, brush the top of the pork with melted butter for added flavor.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
#### Step 5: Serve
1. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
2. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
### Tips:
- Use high-quality bacon and cornbread mix to enhance flavor.
- Ensure the pork is well seasoned both inside and out.
- For extra texture, you can brush on some BBQ sauce or honey during the last 5 minutes of baking.
