Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Lay the bacon onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with a baking rack. Bake until the bacon has rendered some of its fat but is still completely flexible and hasn't begun to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes. Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
- Generously sprinkle the tenderloin with salt and black pepper.
- In a small bowl, stir together the mustard, brown sugar, garlic powder and cayenne. Coat the tenderloin all over with the mixture.
- Starting at one end, wrap the bacon strips around the tenderloin, overlapping them slightly so they are shingled.
- Place the tenderloin on the baking rack and roast until 130 degrees F at the thickest point, about 17 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board using a long offset spatula and tongs. Slice into 1-inch-thick rounds and serve.

BACON-WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH BALSAMIC AND FIG
Adding fig preserves and balsamic vinegar to bacon-wrapped pork gives you the perfect sweet-salty combo of flavors that is impressive enough to serve guests. Best of all, it's ready in about 20 minutes. Be sure to use a tenderloin and not a loin - they are not the same size-wise and require very different cook times. I love to serve this with roasted Brussels sprouts and mashed sweet potatoes. Do not use thick-cut bacon, as it will not cook thoroughly.

Steps:
- Combine onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub spice mixture all over the pork tenderloin and let sit at room temperature for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray foil with cooking spray.
- On a clean work surface, lay bacon slices side by side, overlapping them slightly. Brush fig preserves on one side of the bacon. Place pork tenderloin on bottom end of the bacon slices and roll up so that tenderloin is wrapped in bacon. Place tenderloin, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes and remove pork tenderloin from oven.
- Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
- Brush balsamic glaze all over the pork and return to the oven to broil until pork is slightly pink in the center, 5 to 7 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix thyme, rosemary, sugar and garlic together.
- Rub spices into pork.
- Wrap pork crosswise with bacon.
- Place in oven, cook 30 minutes.
- Brush pork with maple syrup and balsamic vinegar mixture.
- Continue to cook pork another 45-50 minutes, brushing with mixture every 15 minutes.
- Ler sit 15 minutes before carving.
Tips:
- For a crispy bacon wrap, use thin-cut bacon and cook it until it's slightly browned and crispy.
- To ensure the pork tenderloin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
- Allow the pork tenderloin to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- For a sweeter glaze, use more maple syrup. For a tangier glaze, use more balsamic vinegar.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the pork tenderloin by cutting into the thickest part of the meat. The juices should run clear.
Conclusion:
Bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin with maple balsamic glaze is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion meal. The tender pork, crispy bacon, and sweet and tangy glaze make this dish a winner. With a little planning and effort, you can create a restaurant-quality meal at home.
