I’m a good cook. Not to toot my own horn, but I’ve been cooking for a very long time. In fact, I’ve been cooking family meals since I was in the fifth grade. I’ve owned a restaurant. I’ve catered parties up to 150. So, I’m confident in the kitchen. All this to say, when I made this super simple recipe for my family, my husband of 18 years said, “This may be the best thing you’ve ever cooked.” At that point, I decided not to think about so many previous meals that took me hours to make. This recipe has only four ingredients, takes five minutes of prep time and then cooks for 25 minutes. That’s it.

For some background, I did make this a few times, and I found that the Kroger brand peppercorn-seasoned pork tenderloin was hands down the best for this. It made for the juiciest, most flavorful end result.

For a mid-week meal that is also fancy enough for a dinner party or holiday meal, this is your recipe.

Prepare for raves. This Italian pork tenderloin is delicious!
