Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
1-2 Pork Tenderloin (depending on size)
8-10 strips uncooked bacon
1 large Portobello mushrooms
roasted red pepper
4 slices provolone cheese

Slice the pork tenderloin down the center on a diagonal, cut 2 slices from the center about ½ inch, pound flat. Slice the rest of the pork tenderloin and pound flat so that you have 8 pieces. Pare up the pieces. Lay a piece on the cutting board and place mushroom, then cheese on top, then a couple of roasted red pepper slices, top with pork tenderloin. Wrap a slice of bacon around pork tenderloin, then going the opposite way wrap another piece of bacon, turn over and secure and tie up with butchers twine. Grill on direct heat until bacon is crisp, finish an additional 5 minutes on indirect heat. Serves 4.
