Made by You Monday -- Pecan Roasted Pork



Now that the holidays are officially behind me, it's time for something different in the kitchen. I love pork tenderloin. It's tasty and cooks up quickly or slowly -- whichever you need. This one's pretty quick and looks as if you spent hours slaving over it. Serve it with some steamed broccoli and potatoes, and you'll have a lovely meal.
1/2 cup pecan pieces
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 cup French-fried onion rings
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon coarse ground pepper
cooking spray (I use Pam Organic Canola Oil)
2 lb. pork tenderloin
     Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place pecans, onions and sugar in food processor; process until coarsely chopped. Place mix on a plate.
     Season pork with salt and pepper; roll in pecan mixture until well-coated. Place 1 inch apart on baking sheet. (I sprinkle on the remaining crumbs from the the plate at this point.) Coat top of tenderloins with cooking spray. Bake 25-30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
     Let pork stand 5 minutes; cut into 1" thick slices.
