Spicy Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin

In all the cookbook proofing I have done over the past several weeks (Harding Kojies are putting out a 70th Anniversary Edition cookbook this October at Homecoming), I have seen lots of good recipes. This one I tried out tonight and it was DELICIOUS!

1 pork tenderloin
1 pkg. bacon
(4-oz.) cream cheese
jarred jalapenos to taste (I used about about 1/3 of a small can)
skewers

Mix the cream cheese and add jalapenos to taste. Cut the pork tenderloin most of the way open long-ways. Stuff the pork tenderloin with the cream cheese mixture. Wrap the bacon around the pork tenderloin covering ALL of the tenderloin with bacon. Stick skewers sideways through the bacon and tenderloin to hold it together. (If you use wooden skewers make sure you soak them for 30 minutes in cold water first). Put the tenderloin on the grill for 20-30 minutes flipping once. 1 tenderloin serves 3-4 people.
