Ingredients

• 2 lbs pork tenderloin
• 2 lbs Brussels sprouts
• 1 green apple
• 1 sweet onion
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 8 pieces bacon
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Sprinkle the pork with salt, pepper, and 2 tsp of garlic powder. Cook in the oven for 45 minutes or until it has reached an internal temperature of 160°F.
2. Cut the apple and onion into a large dice. Remove the stems off of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half. In a large roasting pan combine the onions and Brussels sprouts and drizzle with 2 Tbsp of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Put the Brussels sprouts and onion in the oven for 30 minutes or until the Brussels sprouts are soft. Add in the apples after they have finished cooking. The apples will cook in the microwave when you reheat the meal. You don’t want them to become mushy.
4. Cook the bacon either on the stove or in the oven until crispy and add to the vegetables with the apples once they have fully cooked.
