If you’re looking for a quick and easy meal to make for supper that’s a little more substantial than grilled cheese sandwiches or hot dogs, you won’t find anything much simpler than Baked Pork Tenderloin.

You don’t have to be a master chef by any means. It’s probably about the easiest meal you can prepare and you can’t go wrong choosing to serve it to even the most critical dinner guests. They are certain to love it. About the only way you could ruin this meal would be if you decided to go have a “quick” look on Facebook after putting it in an oven with no timer. (We all know how long a “quick” look on Facebook can be.)

In the photo you will see I have prepared this with Stuffed BBQ Potatoes and Baked Carrots. But you could also prepare this with any style of potatoes and side dish of vegetables that you wish.
