• the cooking time is utterly ridiculous for a tenderloin. rosemary, garlic, olive oil, bacon all wonderful flavor enhancers bu the pork is ruined by temperature.

• Terrific recipe. terrible printing routine that wastes an entire sheet of paper because of the poor layout on page 1. BA, fix this!

• The bacon did the trick! I would cut back on the fennel (maybe a teaspoon; it's pretty overbearing). Definintely done in 30 minutes at 425. Added brussels, carrots and onions to the pan. Amazing one-pan dinner! Gonna save all that glorious roasted garlic for future fun. The morning do-ahead was a great idea.

• This was perfect. So easy and I’ve never been able to make a tenderloin so moist! The temp read almost 150 when I took it out and was worried it would be overdone but it was perfectly pink when I cut into it. I didn’t read closely and used all my rosemary in the rub, but no regrets. Rather than the heads of garlic I had brussel sprouts cook on the pan with the pork and honestly they were the best Brussels I’ve ever had. Super crispy on the outside but absorbed some of the meat juices and were soft on the inside. So so good. Will be making many more times.

• Really enjoyed this! I put it on a sheet tray surrounded by cubed squash + olive oil + salt + pepper which roasted in the same amount of time and was delicious.

• You need to make this!!!!! It is just so, so delicious! I made this for a second time tonight and I was reminded again of how good it is. Definitely my favorite dinner recipe right now! Never underestimate the power of roasted garlic = Best touch. I serve it with crispy baby potatoes, garlicky sautéed green beans and sautéed spinach.

• Absolultely delicious, smelled amazing in the oven. I didn't realize that a pork tenderloin comes in two pieces, and I really struggled to wrap the bacon around it. The bacon shrunk a lot in the oven and got fairly crispy, so even though it was maybe not the best looking, it still tasted great. I left it in for the full 40 minutes since I don't have a thermometer and didn't want to risk it, and it was mostly cooked through, with some pink in the middle in the thickest part. In hindsight would have done just 30.

• Made this for dinner last night! Super easy and delicious. I always precook my bacon because I find it does not crisp up enough in the oven. Would highly recommend this super easy weeknight friendly meal!

• Very tasty weeknight meal! Didn't put in quite as much garlic as the recipe calls for.Put it in a larger baking dish along with Yukon gold potatoes and it makes a perfect meal.
