Ingredients

8

slices bacon
2

pork tenderloins (about 1 lb each)
1/2

teaspoon salt
1/4

teaspoon pepper
1/3

cup Annie's™ Naturals organic sweet & spicy BBQ sauce
1

tablespoon finely chopped chipotle chile in adobo sauce
1/4

teaspoon ground cumin

Steps

1

Heat oven to 425°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with heavy-duty foil; spray foil with cooking spray.
2

Microwave bacon between layers of microwavable paper towels on microwavable plate 3 to 4 minutes or just until edges begin to brown but are still soft and pliable. Cut each piece in half crosswise.
3

Season tenderloins with salt and pepper; place in pan. Arrange bacon pieces diagonally over top of pork, pressing bacon over sides.
4

In small bowl, mix barbecue sauce, chipotle chile and cumin. Brush tops of each tenderloin with glaze. Bake tenderloins 30 to 35 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in center of pork reads 145°F. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

Precooking bacon in microwave ensures bacon gets nice and crispy in the time it takes for tenderloin to cook.
If you like your tenderloin on the hot side, feel free to add another tablespoon of chipotle chiles.
