How to wrap a pork tenderloin with bacon
When wrapping the bacon around the pork, be sure the bacon does not overlap itself too much under the tenderloin or it will not crisp up. ½” – 1” is ideal, so use a knife to cut off any excess. (chop excess pieces and add to fried pierogi).
Optional – use toothpicks to hold bacon tightly around tenderloin.
Served with reserved mustard sauce on the side, pierogi, and a goat cheese-beet salad.

📖 Recipe
5-Ingredient Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients
- 18 slices double smoked bacon
- 2 pork tenderloins about 1 pound
- 4 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons sriracha or spicy BBQ sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and set an oven rack to the middle of the oven.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray or wipe on a light coating of oil.
- Pat the pork dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, combining mustard, brown sugar, sriracha, salt & pepper. Then stir until the sugar is dissolved.
- Coat each tenderloin with 1 ½ tablespoons of the sauce, then cover the remaining sauce in the bowl and set aside to serve with pork.
- Lay the bacon out on the sheet pan, slightly overlapping each slice. Place the tenderloin on the bacon and roll tightly, tucking the ends under the tenderloin. Repeat process with second tenderloin.
- Bake for 20 minutes (internal temperature should be 130-135°F). Remove from oven and baste with pan juices.
- Return pork to oven and bake an additional 8 – 12 minutes or until done (145-150°F).
- Tent with foil and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with reserved mustard sauce on the side, pierogi, and a green salad.
Notes
- Do not forget to serve with the reserved sauce.
- To avoid contaminating the whole bowl of sauce when you baste the raw meat, remove the 3 tablespoons into another dish for coating pork.
- When wrapping the bacon around the pork, be sure the bacon does not overlap itself too much under the tenderloin or it will not crisp up. ½” – 1” is ideal, so use a knife to cut off any excess. (chop excess pieces and add to fried pierogi).
- Optional – use toothpicks to hold bacon tightly around tenderloin.
