Many of you are probably aware that my husband retired from the army last year. Since then, he has been working out of the country. His job over there was completed and he finally came home. I asked him what he wanted me to make for his first home-cooked meal.
His response, “Some kind of pork tenderloin.” Oh, I can do that! The other thing he asked for was cornbread.
So for the pork tenderloin, I made a variation of the Porchetta that I shared here not too long ago.
But rather than a layer of herbs under the blanket of bacon, I decided to go with a honey mustard mixture. The result was a smashing success!
Of course, I made him the cornbread, too.
You will definitely want to make this recipe very, very soon.

Note: I no longer eat pork, however I am leaving recipes like this one up for those who enjoy it. Many pork recipes can be easily converted to turkey or chicken recipes, with little or even no other changes. Recipes with bacon or sausage can use alternatives like beef or turkey bacon.

Our family loves this recipe! Pork can be lacking in flavor, but these simple ingredients elevate the tenderloin in a big way! (I make extra sauce!)
