BACON-WRAPPED BEEF TENDERLOIN AND SUPER-STUFFED POTATOES WITH SMOKED GOUDA AND CARAMELIZED MUSHROOMS AND ONIONS
Steps:
- Preheat the broiler to high.
- Place the potatoes on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on High for 15 minutes, rotating once. While the potatoes are cooking, make the stuffing for the potatoes.
- Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat with about 2 tablespoons of the EVOO (twice around the pan). Add the mushrooms and cook until they start to brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the onions, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes.
- While all that is working, line the bacon slices up on a meat-safe cutting board a few inches apart. Preheat a second skillet over high heat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of EVOO. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and center each steak atop a bacon slice. Wrap the bacon over the steaks. Place seam side down in the skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side. Reduce the heat to medium under the steaks after the first 2 minutes on each side. Cook the meat, turning occasionally, for another 6 to 10 minutes for medium rare to medium well.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, cut them in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh into a medium bowl, taking care not to rip the potato skins. Using a potato masher, smash the potato flesh together with the sour cream until combined. Stir in the sautéed mushrooms and onions, shredded Gouda, salt, and pepper. Mound the filling back into the potato skins. Place on a cookie sheet and transfer to the broiler, 6 inches from the heat, until lightly brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Serve the bacon-wrapped beef tenderloin alongside the super-stuffed potatoes.

SPICY POTATOES W/SMOKED GOUDA, BACON & ONIONS (#9)
Another recipe from my long-lost, but newly found treasure trove of recipes. There was a note w/this 1 that the recipe originated at the www.johnsonville.com site. I know why I saved this. DH views potatoes as a required part of every main meal, but I get bored w/repeat versions so am always on the lookout for new potato taste treats. Enjoy! .. *Edited to Add* -- This recipe was included in Germany-Benelux for ZWT6 due to its use of Gouda cheese as a primary ingredient & is supported by Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gouda_(cheese) :-)
