The pork tenderloins had wonderful flavor. The word bland is the antithesis of the spectacular flavor of the pork tenderloins. The pork was also very succulent, which was good because I had a fear it would be dry. But, the pork was flavorful and juicy and defiantly far from dry. The apples also enhanced the flavor of the tenderloins. The apples were a perfect combination. The only bit of criticism I have, is that Rachael Ray made this dish on her show 30 Minute Meals, and on the recipe it states that the total cook and preparation time is 55 minutes. They should change the name of the show to 30-ish Minute Meals.
As a side dish, I made the “Cheesy Potato and Sharp Cheddar Hash.” The was a delightful side dish that was a wonderful pair for the pork tenderloin. I love the cheese and potatoes, I especially love them together. However, the white sharp cheddar that the recipe called for, was incredibly hard to find at the grocery store. It was also on the expensive side. Overall, I really enjoyed this meal, and so did my boyfriend. I wish we could have said the same for the movie we rented. Now that was a total bust! Anyway, back to the recipes. I would have to give this recipe 4 stars. I thought the flavors were fantastic and everything went really well together. I didn’t like how it was advertised as a 30 minute meal, when the actual time it takes to make the pork tenderloin is 55 minutes. I also didn’t like that the white sharp cheddar was difficult to find and expensive. I’m going to make an alteration to this recipe and use a different cheese. However, this was an easy meal to make, and I think it deserves a spot in my personal cookbook. Below are the links to the recipes as always.
