I saw a Pampered Chef recipe and decided that it sounded yummy, but I needed to alter it a bit. The biggest change I made was that the original recipe had microwave directions and I had enough time to use the oven. I also used our favorite rub and sauce instead of the suggested PC ones. So here's my take on PC's Mini BBQ Pork Sandwiches... mine weren't mini, so I guess I should just call them
Super Easy BBQ Pork Sandwiches.
Ingredients
1/2 an onion
1 tbs. oil
2 tbs. BBQ Rub (I used McCormick Grill Mates- Barbeque)
1 Pork Tenderloin (between 1 and 2 lbs.)
BBQ Sauce (our favorite is Kraft Original)
8 Rolls or Hamburger Buns
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 350F.
Slice the onion into 1/4 inch thick slices and place in the bottom of the baking dish.
Trim the silver skin and fat off the pork tenderloin. Brush the tenderloin with the oil and then rub with the BBQ Rub. Place the tenderloin in the baking dish, on top of the onion. Now I know that you want the onion to be covered by the pork. :-)
Cooking times will vary, follow the directions on the tenderloin package (that is, if you're like me and buy a packaged pork tenderloin). The 1-1/2 lb. one that I made took about an hour and 15 minutes, but our oven is slow. Make sure the internal temp is at least 160F.
Let the pork rest for 5 minutes. While it is resting, slice the rolls. Then, slice the pork thin and arrange on the buns, top with BBQ Sauce and some of the onion slices.
I served mine with green beans sautéed with bacon bits and onion, and Ruffles. That's what we always have with BBQ :-)
This is the first time I've made this recipe, and it was so good! My house smells amazing too!
Another super easy way to make it (any cut works great for this!): Put the pork in the crock pot with 1 bottle of BBQ sauce and the juice of 1 orange. Cook on low for 8 hours. So easy and it is super yummy!
