Pork Tenderloin Recipe

by Kacey

Looking for a quick and easy recipe for an entree? Try this pork tenderloin recipe! (notice a trend on my recipes? Quick. Easy.)

old church recipe book

I got this recipe from this old church recipe book. It was from the church I went to when I was a little girl. This was my grandmother’s copy of the book because I was like 6 or so when it was published, so obviously I didn’t get my own copy then. I grew up eating lots of recipes from this book. You can see the book is a bit tattered, but I still hold it dear.

pork tenderloin ingredients

Ingredients:

2 pork tenderloins
4 slices of bacon
1 tbsp grated onions (I use minced onions if I don’t have fresh)
1 clove garlic or garlic salt (I use minced garlic or sometimes garlic powder if I don’t have fresh garlic)
1 tbsp wine vinegar
pepper
1/2 tsp sugar

pork tenderloin wrapped in bacon

Line a pan with foil. Trust me. You’ll want to do this. Makes clean up a snap. I’m into easy.

Wrap the pork tenderloin in bacon. Sprinkle other ingredients on top. (really, how much easier can this get?)

Bake uncovered for 2 hours at 300 degrees. (or if you’re like me and always running a bit behind :roll: , you can also bake at 325 for about 1 1/2 hours.)

slice on the diagonal

Slice it on the diagonal using the perfect knife like SuperGuy is demonstrating for us.

pork tenderloin and peaches

Doesn’t that look yummy?? I usually serve with some wild rice and call it good. My mom adds a couple splashes of soy sauce to it when she makes it ’cause my mom can’t just follow a recipe without messing with it a bit. :mrgreen:

    I have a stack of old church cookbooks and love them. When I helped make one years ago - my kids were little - I bought them each one and saved it in plastic until they got married. My second daughter who has 4 kids has worn hers out. We’re going to take mine, which is still readable, and have a few new ones printed from it.
