Day 10


I wish you could smell my house!! All day I've been drooling!! I roasted 2 garlic and onion marinated pork tenderloins from Costco. When they were done I cut them up (sliced) and tossed in a bunch of cilantro (chopped) 2 onions cut in strips, 2 green peppers, 1 yellow pepper, 1 orange pepper, and 1 red pepper all cut in strips. I poured in 2 16 oz jars of La Victoria Salsa Ranchera Hot, 1 can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, and a can of petite diced tomatoes. I slow cooked this mixture for about 3 hours in my cast aluminum roaster. I use the crock pot sometimes, but it takes a little longer. The mixture stays a little juicier in the crock pot. Since I used 2 large pork tenderloins, this is taking a little longer to cook. So tomorrow I will serve it with re fried beans and tortillas. I love to dip my rolled up tortilla in the beans. {I like melted cheese on my beans, but, since I'm trying to watch what I eat, I'll try to do without. This is pretty spicy. You can make it using medium salsa, or mild, depending on your taste buds. I don't have a name for it. I just call it my Mexican Stew.
I think I'll invite friends over to help eat this tomorrow, and I may have enough to freeze a little. This has got to be one of our very favorite meals!! Maybe I'll make a Baileys trifle for desert!! Eat your heart out Ree!! Actually, Ree is my hero, and I know I will never come close to her awesome writing skills, or cooking skills!!
