Bacon-Wrapped Pork Bites

Servings: About 14 people (3 bites each)

Ingredients:

• One 1¼ pound pork tenderloin (would also work great with a pork loin)
• One 16-ounce package bacon
• ¾ cup ketchup
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet.
2. Cut the pork tenderloin into 1-inch cubes and cut each slice of bacon into three pieces.
3. Wrap each cube of pork tenderloin with one (1/3 piece) of bacon; secure with a toothpick.
4. Place the bacon-wrapped pork onto the prepared pan.
5. Bake for 15 minutes.
6. While the pork bites are baking, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and black pepper.
7. Dunk each of the bites into the ketchup mixture and return it to the wire rack.
8. Bake an additional 15 minutes, or until they’re bubbly and sticky on top.
9. Serve warm.
