Ingredients

  • 5 slices Smoked Uncured Bacon (2 for $5 of Our Family Sliced Bacon in assorted varieties this week at Fresh)
  • 1 pork tenderloin (1 lb.) ($1.99 per lb. of Smithfield Boneless Pork Loin Roast this week at Fresh)
  • ¼ tsp. cracked black pepper
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar (2 for $3 of Our Family Baking Sugar in assorted varieties this week at Fresh)
  • 2 Tbsp. apple juice
  • 1 tsp. GREY POUPON Dijon Mustard
  • Dash ground nutmeg

 

 

Instructions

  • HEAT oven to 400ºF.
  • WRAP bacon around meat. Place in foil-lined pan sprayed with cooking spray; sprinkle with pepper.
  • BAKE 20 min. or until cooked to 135ºF. (I went to 145ºF.) Meanwhile, bring remaining ingredients to boil in saucepan on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  • BRUSH meat with glaze using pastry brush. Bake 10 min. or until done ( at least 145ºF but I went to 165ºF.).
  • To achieve a crispier bacon top, broil meat for 1 to 2 minutes or until desired crispiness. Cover loosely with foil. Let stand 5 min. before slicing.
