Bacon Wrapped Cream Cheese Tenderloin

This is so easy, but amazingly, mouth-watering good. I have had it cooked on the grill and slow cooked in the oven. I can't decide which way is better. However, since I do not currently own a grill; oven it is. 

Only 3 ingredients, plus some seasoning. 
I use the cheaper bacon because it is easier to manipulate around the tenderloin. 
The tenderloin is usually already split down the middle, lengthwise; if not, just split it. Layer bacon underneath the tenderloin in the dish. 
Quarter the cream cheese and stuff in between the two pieces of meat. (Optional but good: Slather the outside of the tenderloin with cream cheese as well before wrapping in bacon) Season meat as desired. (I used pepper, garlic salt, and chipotle) Wrap bacon tightly around meat. 

Cover in foil. Bake in over on 250 for 7-8 hours. Baste occasionally with the excess juices. 
Slice and Serve
