Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
18 ounces bacon
2 pounds pork tenderloin

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Then place a wire cooling rack in the baking sheet. Set aside.
In a small bowl mix together the seasonings. Set aside.
1 1/2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper, 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
On a clean surface lay out the bacon so that it is overlapping just slightly. (See photo in post.)
18 ounces bacon
Rub the prepared seasoning mix all over the pork. Tuck the thin end of the pork tenderloin under it so that the whole pork tenderloin is the same thickness. Lay the pork in the middle of the bacon. Then wrap the bacon around the pork. (See photo in post.) Please note that the bacon underneath the pork will not be as crisp as the bacon on top. You can solve this by cutting the bacon strips so they don't wrap fully underneath the pork, though I find this tedious and therefore recommend fully wrapping it.
2 pounds pork tenderloin
Place the pork on the prepared baking sheet on top of the wire rack with the bacon seam side down. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the pork registers 145 degrees Fahrenheit with an instant read thermometer.
Let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. It is okay if there is a little pink to the pork as long as it was 145 degrees Fahrenheit at its thickest point when you removed it from the oven.
