Sometimes, I don’t want to cook.
Sometimes, I wish there was a magical dinner that I could throw in the microwave like The Jetsons tv show.
And sometimes, I just need a budget-friendly recipe so I can enjoy other things with my money. 😉
When I feel like having it easy, saving money or I only have 4 ingredients on hand, I always go to this recipe.
It’s one of those, pantry staple recipes for our family.
INGREDIENTS:
- Pork Tenderloin (2 lbs)
- 8-10 oz. favorite BBQ sauce
- potatoes of choice
- 1/4 – 1/5 cup old bay seasoning
Yes, it’s super easy and anyone you really can’t mess it up.
For Oven Baked Pork Tenderloin:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a roaster (I use Deep Covered Baker, stoneware) place tenderloin
Cover in BBQ Sauce and pop lid on
Place in oven for 30-40 minutes. Check temperature to make sure it reaches 165 degrees
And done…
In a deep sauce pan, add as many potatoes as you want.
Add water to cover potatoes and old bay. If you really want to season it, add up to 1/2 cup.
Cook until a fork can break through the potato. (If using a lot, up to 15 minutes)
BONUS: Throw in your vegetable with the potatoes and cook both at the same time! I like using green beans myself.
There you have it, an easy, budget-friendly meal!
