Fabulous. The family loved it. I used whole wheat buns and DD got a slice of cheddar cheese on hers. Served with baked fries. Family is already asking when we can have it again.
Grilled Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches
These pork sandwiches are ready to ride. Grill the tenderloin and assemble the sandwiches at home. Wrapped in foil, they will stay warm while you travel to your picnic destination. Or slice and refrigerate the meat, and serve the sandwiches cold. Take along the dressing in a thermos or tightly closed jar, and allow people to dress the sandwiches themselves.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 bun, 3 ounces pork, and 1 tablespoon sauce)
