Slow Cooker Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin

Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 3 hours
Total Time 3 hours 25 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pork tenderloin about 1 1/4 lbs, silverskin removed
  • 6 slices regular-cut bacon about 6 oz
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp dried sage
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth

Method
 

  1. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-low heat in 2 batches for 3 to 4 minutes per batch, turning, until it has rendered some fat but remains flexible. Transfer to paper towels and cool briefly.
  2. Fold the thin tenderloin tip underneath for even thickness. Rub pork with Dijon, sage and pepper, wrap with slightly overlapping bacon strips and tie with 4 lengths of kitchen twine.
  3. Place seam-side down in a 4- to 5-quart oval slow cooker and pour broth around it. Cover and cook on low for about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours, checking after 1 hour, until the pork center reaches 145°F.
  4. Lift carefully to a rack on a foil-lined broiler-safe pan and rest for at least 3 minutes. Broil 6 inches from the heat for 2 to 4 minutes, turning once if needed, until bacon is browned and sizzling.
  5. Rest for 3 minutes, cut and remove all 4 pieces of twine, then slice across the grain with a sharp knife and serve.
