Instructions
In a skillet, cook bacon until crisp.
Remove bacon; crumble and set aside.
Drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings. In the drippings, saute the mushrooms, onion and garlic until tender.
Remove from the heat; stir in 1/2 cup of bread crumbs, parsley and bacon.
Cut a slit lengthwise three-quarters of the way through the tenderloin. Lightly place stuffing in the pocket; close with toothpicks.
Combine butter and Parmesan cheese; spread over top and sides of meat. Press the remaining bread crumbs onto butter mixture.
Place meat on rack in a shallow roasting pan.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 15 minutes. Cover and bake for 1 hour or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°).
Let stand for 10 minutes and remove toothpicks before slicing.
