Bacon-Wrapped Pork Loin with Maple and Brown Sugar
Bacon Wrapped Maple Glazed Pork Loin is smoky, so juicy, sweet and spicy. The pork loin gets coated in a maple and brown sugar glaze with Dijon mustard, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper. It is then wrapped in bacon and drizzled with more maple syrup.
1 (4-6 lb) pork loin, boneless
⅓ cup light brown sugar, packed
2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp. cayenne pepper
½ cup pure maple syrup, divided
½ tsp. garlic powder
10 slices bacon
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C, Gas Mark 5).
