My DH and DS #1 RAVED about this. DS #2 liked it too. I liked okay but found it VERY salty. Maybe I just measured wrong but I had to add 1 1/2 cups of water to the gravy to cut down on the saltiness. I will definitely make this again - just use less salt. Thanks for posting!

    This was the best pork tenderloin I have ever made! I am soooo happy! I cooked a 3 lb tenderloin for 2 hrs. and 15 min. Let it rest for 15 min and made the gravy. I got 5 thumbs up on this meal. My pork roast and tenderloins are usually on the dry side. This was moist and flavorful. Thanks for making me look so good!!!

    First of all, I used a 4 pound pork tenderloin, instead of 1 pound. It took 1 hour to bake, so not much longer and was 170 degrees inside. Next, I didn't have the time to marinade overnight, so I used garlic powder and marinaded for about 20 minutes. It turned out wonderful. Probably the best pork we have had. It was tender, moist and flavorful. I also substituted black pepper for white pepper.

    This has become my family's most requested meal. They cannot get enough of it. Plus it's unbelievably easy to make. I did experiment with the time to marinate and found 24 hours is by far the best. It just melts in your mouth. The shortest time I marinated was 1/2 hour and it was still amazing.
