I like these bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin appetizers, as they are an easy addition to your party platter. To switch things up, try with beef or chicken tenderloins. —Dan Bolbecker, Minot AFB, North Dakota

Ingredients

16 bacon strips
1 pork tenderloin (1 pound), cut into 8 slices
Dash garlic powder
Dash pepper
2 large tomatoes, chopped
1 cup diced onion

Directions

1. In a large cast iron skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until partially cooked but not crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain; wipe skillet clean and set aside. Flatten pork to 1/2-in. thickness. Position 2 bacon strips to make an X; top with a tenderloin slice. Sprinkle with garlic powder and pepper. Repeat.
2. Combine tomatoes and onion; spoon over tenderloin. Fold bacon over the top and secure with toothpicks; place in cast-iron skillet. Bake, at 350° until a meat thermometer reads 145°, 15-20 minutes.
