MUSHROOM-STUFFED BACON WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• In a large skillet melt butter over medium heat; add in mushrooms, onion and garlic, saute until tender (about 8 minutes).
• Stir in toasted pecans; set aside.
• Place the pork between two sheets of plastic wrap, then flatten to about 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
• Season the side of the pork that you will be stuffing with season salt and black pepper.
• Divide and spread the mushroom mixture evenly between the two tenderloins, leaving a 1-inch border.
• Roll up jellyroll fashion starting with the long end.
• Wrap 4-5 bacon slices (can use more if desired) around each tenderloin roll, then secure with toothpicks.
• Place seam-sides down in a greased roasting pan/dish.
• Brush the tops and sides of each roll with about 2 tablespoons (or less) of olive oil.
• Rub evenly with coarse black pepper then sprinkle lightly with seasoned salt (or white salt).
• Bake uncovered in a 450 degree oven for 15 minutes.
• Reduce heat to 400 degrees and continue to bake for another 10-15 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.
• Let rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
• Delicious!
