    There are so many things I love about baked pork tenderloin on Keto. It's a very affordable cut of meat that's often on sale, it's super easy to cook and leftovers are amazing.

    The bacon wrap gives it an added touch that makes it seem fancy, but it's basically a fail-proof pork tenderloin recipe that you'll enjoy cooking time and time again.

    What's in Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin

    • Pork tenderloin
    • Uncured bacon
    • BBQ Dry Rub

    *Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.

    How to Make Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin

    Preheat your oven to 350°F.

    Trim the pork tenderloins of any excess fat and silver skin.

    2 pork tenderloins with dry rub being spooned over top

    Take the dry rub seasoning and rub it all over both tenderloins.

    Cut 12 slices of uncured bacon in half and wrap the bacon over the top of each tenderloin, making sure to slightly overlap them.

    Take a baking sheet and line it with aluminum foil (for easy cleanup), then place an oven safe rack on top. Spray the rack with nonstick spray and place the tenderloins on top. Be sure to tuck the bacon under the bottom of the tenderloins.

    Bake for 30 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F using a meat thermometer.  Increase the temperature to 450°F and bake on the top rack of your oven for another 10 minutes or until the bacon is crisp and the pork reaches an internal temperature of at least 145°F.

    Is Pork Loin the Same as Pork Tenderloin?

    It's a pretty common when glancing over a recipe to mistake these two cuts of meat. But they have significant differences which could potentially cause not so great results when cooking. Let's take a look at the some of the main differences:

    Pork Loin

    The first thing you will notice is the size. Pork loin is much larger, weighing between 4-5 pounds each. Pork loin is lean, but it typically has a fat cap running long the top of it. Pork loin has more of a pale color than pork tenderloin.

    One of the biggest differences is the preferred cooking methods. Pork loin is best when seared off then finished low and slow in the oven. It also makes great boneless pork chops or stuffed pork chops because it's so easy to custom cut the size you need. Because of its size, it's perfect for those times when you're feeding a crowd.

    Pork Tenderloin

    These little beauties are like the filet mignon of pork! They are smaller than the loin, weighing around a pound each and typically come packed with two. Another thing you'll notice is that pork tenderloin is slightly darker in appearance, but like the loin, it will turn pale when cooked.

    Because the tenderloin runs along the spine, where it's not used for movement, the meat is incredibly tender. Pork tenderloin is perfect for weeknight meals, because it cooks quickly and can be ready in under 45 minutes.

    Can You Freeze Baked Pork Tenderloin?

    You sure can! And you can do so without a whole lot of fuss. Just double wrap leftover pork tenderloin tightly with plastic wrap and stick it in the freezer for up to a couple of months. When ready to eat again, thaw overnight in the fridge, and reheat in the oven just until warmed.

    What Goes with Bacon Wrapped Keto Pork Tenderloin?

    Everything! No seriously, any low carb veggie you prefer work well with this bacon wrapped pork tenderloin and makes for a scrumptious meal!

    A simple salad, Easy Cole Slaw, or Roasted Balsamic Brussel Sprouts or something more decadent like this Creamed Spinach or Loaded Creamy Cauliflower all compliment the delicious and savory flavors of Keto pork tenderloin.
