These super easy bacon-wrapped pork bites with teriyaki sauce will be the stars of any party! Thank you to Smithfield for sponsoring today’s recipe!
Are you ready for an easy, scrumptious party recipe? These pork bites wrapped in bacon are fun to make and even more fun to eat. You only need THREE ingredients to look like an entertaining super star. Watch my video to see how easy these party pleasers are to prepare:
I have had so much fun creating pork recipes as a Smithfield ambassador this year, and I tried to make this last pork tenderloin recipe of 2015 my best one yet. It couldn’t be easier since it only uses three ingredients, but when the ingredients are as delicious as bacon, tender fresh pork, and teriyaki sauce, the flavor is BIG!
I used a teriyaki marinated fresh pork tenderloin in this recipe, so there was great teriyaki flavor throughout each bite. You can see how tender the meat is in the video. It seriously melts in your mouth no matter how you cook it! I hope you will add these savory, easy pork bites to your holiday party planning. You will look like a hosting hero, and no one needs to know how simple they were to make!
Not only did I have the opportunity to enjoy Smithfield products this year, I also got to visit their Virginia headquarters, which I told you about last month. After seeing the quaint town of Smithfield and meeting so many people who take great pride in creating their quality pork products, it’s easy to see why they say they still act like a small company. To wrap up my year working with Smithfield, let’s look back at all the simple recipes I’ve shared this year using their marinated fresh pork. It has been a pleasure!
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and place a baking rack on top of the foil. Spray rack with cooking spray.
Cut slices of bacon in half crosswise (not lengthwise!). Cut pork tenderloin into chunks about 1″ by 2″. Wrap each chunk of pork with a slice of bacon, and place pork bites seam-side down on the prepared baking rack.
Use a basting brush to coat the outside of each pork bite with teriyaki sauce. Bake in preheated oven approximately 20 minutes or until outer layers are well browned.

I love how simple this is to put together – and how flavorful it looks! But really, how can you go wrong when you use Smithfield bacon and pork tenderloins? Totally trying this soon!

What a fabulous appetizer! I know they’d disappear very quickly around here…anything with bacon goes fast! And the teriyaki…yum!

OMG, these are insanely good-looking! Great job on your video and write up, Andi. You make that part look easy, as always (but we know it’s not ;-) )
Can’t wait to try these!!
After making my easy pulled pork enchiladas the other night I still had some leftover pork and decided to make quesadillas for lunch. I combined the pulled pork with a little chili powder and sauteed...
Queso is delicious. It is gooey, cheesy, and spicy. It is an absolute comfort food and something that is at its best when made with simple, grocery store ingredients. But for those of you that love...
Crema Mexicana (or Mexican style sour cream) is rich, smooth, slightly sweet and pourable. It works great as a condiment or as a substitute for sour cream or creme fraiche in dip and sauce recipes.
If you are like me I am sure you have made or eaten plenty of sour cream and onion dips that are made with onion soup mix or flavoring packets. Now those can be good, but this dip is GREAT! The only problem...
This is a herbaceous and fresh cilantro lime crema dip recipe that has only 3 ingredients, crema Mexicana, limes, and cilantro. It is amazing drizzled on tacos, nachos, quesadillas. I love this recipe...
