Quick Dinner Using Leftover Pork Tenderloin
"I'm always looking for ways to use up leftovers. I came up with this one last night, and it was delicious served over wild rice. I would rather have used a can of tomatoes, but hubby won't eat a cooked tomato that he can actually see...oh well!"

This recipe was perfect! I believe you should follow a recipe before you decide to change it. You can tweak it the next time around. I did fear this would have a heavy tomato taste and it did not at all. I followed it, loved it and when I made it again, I "changed" it, added another garlic clove, nothing more. I'm making it again tonight for chicken. Leftover pork is always horrible reheated in any way. This recipe will save a lot of pork from being thrown out as tasteless left-overs. This sauce is a keeper, exactly the way it is presented. I use Knorr chicken bullion only. It's soft enough to press into a measuring spoon. I use a garlic press for most recipes. Add garlic for several seconds before adding liquid. No chance in it burning that way. If you don't follow the recipe exactly, you will never know how good this tastes. -
We really enjoyed this. I used canned Italian spiced tomatoes. I had leftover pork tenderloin kabobs and some leftover grilled veggies. I used chicken broth instead of a boullion cube and wine. Before throwing in the pork and grilled vegetables, I added a couple of handfuls of uncooked no-yolk egg noodles, with some additional broth to compensate for the noodles. When the noodles were almost tender I added the pork and veggies and cooked until warmed through. Tasty one pot meal. -
Love this recipe! What a great way to use any leftover meat. I made a few changes: omitted the butter and halved the boullion (I didn't have a low sodium option); added some yellow pepper slices, red pepper flakes, and ended with some chopped green onions. Was mainly trying to use things in the refrigerator. I also took her advice & used a can of diced tomatoes instead of the sauce (as we love tomatoes!) I added a teaspoon of tomato paste. What a delicious meal! I just had the leftovers for lunch today. Yummo. <br/><br/>Thanks puppitypup!

This recipe looks very easy to make and should be delicious. I plan to make it tonight. Just one thing...I believe the garlic clove should be minced and sauteed along with the onion. Where's the garlic?!!!!

This was really good! I had a whole pork tenderloin left over and now it's all gone! I did make a couple of changes, only because I didn't have everything on hand. I left out the onion and I used beef granules instead of chicken. It turned out really good! I put it over cauliflower mash for me and white rice for my kiddos that haven't acquired the taste for cauliflower quite yet. This recipe is saved for sure! -
Maybe should have used diced tomatoes instead of tomato sauce but thought this recipe (as is) was bitter and had a terrible aftertaste. Added a dash of Worchestershire Sauce, 1-2 tsp of brown sugar (to off-set the bitterness) and approx 1/2 cup sour cream (to smooth out the taste). Still not great but hope it mellows as it sits. May be calling for pizza if noses start turning up at the dinner table.
