Pork Tenderloin Towers on the Grill

"These are really not at all difficult, and they look so impressive. If you don't have a bbq grill, just broil them in the oven, but be careful not to get them too close to the flame. You don't want to burn these. From Southern Living, March 1986."

  1. Excellent. The flavors went so well together. Due to weather, I cooked this as stated on my grill pan in the oven at 350 degrees and it turned out great. I did precook my bacon for 3 minutes in the microwave to make sure that it was cooked. Served this with wild rice and steamed broccoli. Thanks for sharing. Made for "Party" :)
     
  2. So simple, but such an impressive presentation. I didn't feel that my tenderloins need the entire 40 minutes on the grill and just cooked until the bacon was crispy. I also only had shredded swiss cheese on hand, but it still worked well. We will be making this again during our grilling season.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in a small (but growing to be very large) town in Oklahoma. I am currently a student, studying library science. I like to cook and eat, play the piano and violin, and train and play with my two dogs. I don't have a single favorite cookbook, but of the ones I use, I like BHG the most. Their recipes are usually very good. I would say my passion is learning new things--and traveling to new places. I also enjoy writing fiction. Some of my pet peeves are: 99% of the drivers in Oklahoma; people who don't take good care of their pets; people with NO TASTE; intellectual psychobabble nonsense; boring people; the list goes on forever!
