Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin

Heat oven to 425ºF. Make a long slit lengthwise down center of pork, being careful not to cut all the way through. Open like a book. Place scallions on one cut side of pork; fold pork back over to close.

Wrap bacon slices around pork to cover completely. Place in small roasting pan. Rub 1⁄2 tsp pepper and 1 Tbsp sugar over bacon. Roast 20 minutes or until instant-read thermometer inserted in center reads 150ºF. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.

Spread pork with Dijon mustard before wrapping with bacon.

Rub bacon with brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.

Substitute fresh chopped herbs for the scallions.
