Another One Off the List...

[Gonna Smoke]

Ever since Steve H posted about a recipe he grew up eating that his mom made, I've been wanting to make it myself.

Pork tenderloin with kraut and tomatoes

The other day I mentioned to a few friends about a dish my mom used to make back when I was young. I tried making it a few times. But it wasn't the same. Until last night. I talked to my sister the other day. And told her how I was making it. And. Low and behold. She had the recipe! The trick...

Only problem I had was I was out of kraut , but I had some fermenting. I felt that the proper way to honor this recipe and those involved was to wait until my kraut was ready. It is ready and so was I...

Seasoned the pork exactly like Steve's recipe and browned...

Slightly mashed the whole tomatoes with a potato masher (I've got one, Steve ) and combined all the ingredients...

Baked at 325℉ for an hour covered, then 30 more minutes uncovered...

Served with homemade mashed potatoes...

The flavors were fantastic and the meal was a hit. I just hope that I did it justice and it tasted like Steve remembered it. This will stay on the list, thank you Steve...

Wow! I don't know how I missed Steve H post back in March. Thanks Gonna Smoke for bringing it back.
My mother made a version of this when I was growing up and us four boys Tore It Up!!! It was definitely one of our favorite meals.
I just pulled a tenderloin out of the freezer and will be having this tomorrow.
Thanks guys for bringing back this wonderful memory.
