    Pork Tenderloin with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce

    This is my go-to dish for both special occasions and weekday dinners because it's so easy and delicious. We love it because the pork tenderloin is, without fail, moist and tender but also the sauce is really unique. In fact, this past Thanksgiving, my husband suggested it would be good to have available along with turkey gravy and he was right. It was a huge hit! —Kim Wells, Worthington, OH
