Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin Medallions

Mmm, porky.


Homer: Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Lisa honey, are you saying you're *never* going to eat any animal again? What about bacon?

Lisa: No.

Homer: Ham?

Lisa: No.

Homer: Pork chops?

Lisa: Dad! Those all come from the same animal!

Homer: [Chuckles] Yeah, right Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal.

This is very good, very easy, and very Homer Simpson.

OMG! That episode- and the one where Homer gets 'Beef Poisoning' from eating that ginormous steak... what a riot. I've never thought to do this with a pork tenderloin, I've always roasted it whole. Thanks for the idea!

It's just a little dirty. It's still good, it's still good! It's just a little slimy, it's still good, it's still good! It's just a little airborne, it's still good, it's still good!

Love it.

Any recipe that starts with wrapping something in bacon has got to be good!
