Crispy Crusted Pork Tenderloin
Crispy Crusted Pork Tenderloin is a basic pork tenderloin recipe that produces a delicious dinner. It's simple to prepare, but it's not boring. The crispy breadcrumbs add a nice crunch to the tender pork. I served this pork tenderloin with roasted potatoes and roasted veggies. It was a delicious meal that I would gladly make again. If you're an inexperienced cook, you can still make this pork tenderloin recipe. I haven't made much pork myself, so I was a little nervous about this recipe. However, there was no need to worry because it came out just right. I checked it after 40 minutes, but the pork hadn't hit 170 degrees yet. After 5 more minutes, it was there. Make sure to turn the pan while baking so the tenderloin bakes evenly. If you notice any extra breadcrumbs burning on the pan, you can remove them during this time.
