I mean just look at that beautiful dish!
I can’t imagine anyone not wanting this platter set on the table in front of them.
If you don’t have an electric carving knife for cutting your turkeys, roasts and other meaty dishes, you have no idea what you are missing. Using an electric carving knife like this one, will allow you to slice right through the bacon and tenderloin while still leaving it all intact. Beautiful.

Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Orange Sauce
Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 lb pork tenderloin
- 5 or 6 slices bacon, cut in half
For the Sauce

- Place a half slice of bacon across the tenderloin, tucking the ends underneath. Start at one end, and work your way to the other, blanketing the tenderloin with lovely strips of bacon.

- To serve, place the tenderloin on a platter with a lip. Spoon some of the sauce over the top. Reserve the rest for serving with.
