= One package of thick sliced bacon (I use my own wild hog or Wrights)

= One package of Cream Cheese Softened

= Some good quality sliced cheese about an inch thick or shredded whatever floats your boat

= Two Peppers thinly sliced ( I used Jalapenos with seeds still in but I like it HOT) 

= Tooth Picks for securing wraps.

 

 

 

For the marinade Combine In a large Ziploc Baggie:

                 = 2 heaping tablespoons of apricot jelly

                 = 3 Tablespoons of Oil ( I used EVOO)

                 = Generous Helping of Salt and Pepper

                 = 2 Cloves Grated Garlic or Garlic Salt

                 = Half a can of Dr. Pepper or Soda of your choice

                 = Splash of Soy Sauce

                 = Two or Three Sprigs of fresh Rosemary Chopped

                 = Two tsps. of butter

 

Directions:

 

1. Pre-Heat your Grill (Can be done in Oven as well).
2. Combine all of the marinade ingredients to a Ziploc bag. Place your Backstrap Tenderloin pieces in the mixture. Seal & toss the bag around to coat the meat. Place in refrigerator for at least 24hrs.
3. Gather up your cheese, peppers, and bacon. Make an assembly line. Have all your indgredents ready to wrap your Tenderloins.
4. Remove Backstrap from Ziploc careful to not spill your marinade juices. Reserve for cooking.
5. One at a time, open Tenderlion and fill with cheese and peppers. Fold Tenderlion and wrap tightly with bacon.
6. Place a tooth pick thru the center to secure bacon.
7. Set aside in pan and finish the rest.
8. On the grill cook directly on the rack. Watch closely and flip every 6 mins to ensure bacon gets crisp on all sides. I randomly poor teaspoons of the remaining marinade over the lil nuggets of heaven. If cooking in the oven, Preheat to 450* and bake on a foil lined pan for 20-25 mins depending on desired level of done you like.
