Here is another attempt at pork tenderloin. My boyfriend’s family was out of town so we were house sitting and I had the opportunity to use his mother’s amazing kitchen. It will be hard going back to the basic oven we have in the apartment after this weekend. This recipe takes comfort food to a whole new level. the combination of tender pork, savory mushroom gravy and creamy mashed potatoes is enough to send anyone into the most serious dinner coma of all time.
