Honey-Mustard Pork Tenderloin Wrapped in Bacon

I forgot to take a pic after the pork loin was done roasting.  #fail
Juicy, tender and flavorful are the three words that come to mind when I sunk my teeth into the pork tenderloin.   This recipe will not disappoint. Oh, and it can feed a small army.

The recipe itself is very easy to execute however the roast time is lengthy.  Allow yourself plenty of time for the roasting process.    

Ingredients
1-11/2 pounds of pork tenderloin 
1/4 cup of Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons of grain mustard
2 tablespoons of honey
2 cloves (minced)
2 tablespoons of fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
1 pounds of bacon (paleo friendly)
toothpicks

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.   In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the mustards, honey, rosemary and garlic.  

In a shallow roasting pan, slather the pork tenderloin with the honey-mustard mix.  Next wrap the tenderloin with strips of bacon.  Secure each strip of bacon onto the tenderloin with a toothpick.  

Roast the pork loin for 1 hour.  After one hour, place a sheet of foil over the loin and roast for an additional 20 min.   Remove pork loin from oven and let it rest for 10 min.
