Pork tenderloin is the ultimate meat lover’s dream. Pair that with bacon and… ohhh lala! Heavenly! If you are on the Keto diet, this Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin is perfect! Pair it with some salad and you have a complete meal.
My family loves meat. One of the staple ingredients at home is bacon. We got turkey bacon, panacetta, prosciutto — name it, we’ve got it. We have it almost everyday for breakfast. I just cook bacon in the oven the healthier, oil-free way. I serve bacon with pancakes, eggs, or with toasted bread and some coffee for me and hubby and orange juice for the kids. What I also do is cook extra bacon then save some crumbled bits for soups and salads.
Prepping the Meat
This recipe is easy to prepare. All you have to do is season the meat and carefully wrap the bacon around the pork tenderloin. Don’t forget to save the drippings for some gravy! While the meat cooks in the oven, I can prepare salad, tidy up, or just relax.
Whenever we have family gatherings, this is one dish that I prepare. For one, it is easy to prepare. Next, if there are leftovers, I can use them for other dishes or as sandwiches or taco filling.
