Ingredients:

Baked Pork Tenderloin with Bacon recipe picture 1This is a recipie for Pork tenderloin wrapped in bacon, baked in the oven, and then smothered with sauteed onions. Everyone who I've had try my creation loves it, so I hope you will too. I've prepared this meal for my mothers co-workers. They love it so much they buy the ingredients for me, so I can prepare it for their pot-luck dinner nights.


Pork tenderloin. Assume about 1/3rd pound per serving, more if you're working with big eaters. (About 4-5 lbs used here)
Bacon (2 lbs used here)
Small potatoes: Assume two servings per can. (6 cans here)
Onions: The ammount you need depends on your total serving size, you probably need more than you think to match my preparation here
Lawrys Seasoned Salt
Pork seasoning of your choice
Pan spray
Real butter (1/3rd lb used here)

Step 1:

Baked Pork Tenderloin with Bacon recipe picture 2Set oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit.


Spray pan with cooking spray - lightly. Just enough to prevent the food from sticking to the pan.


Using your favorite knife, split the pork tenderloin lengthwise. Do NOT cut it completely in half, just split it most of the way.

Step 2:

Step 3:

Step 4:

Step 5:

Step 6:

Melt 1/3rd lb butter in a large pan, add raw onions. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 7:

Step 8:

Step 9:

step-by-step recipe photos 10Be sure to stir your onions occasionally... cook to your preference as far as "doneness" goes.

Step 10:

Baked Pork Tenderloin with Bacon recipe photos 11When the core of the tenderloin hits 160f, the meat is done. Looks delicious....

Step 11:

Baked Pork Tenderloin with Bacon recipe photos 12The reccomended serving suggestion is a piece of meat, put some potatoes right next to the meat, and smother it with sauteed onions.


I am placing the meat on top of my potatoes in the warming caserole.

Step 12:
