Grilled Pepper Pork Tenderloin

Many of my recipes are on recipe cards from years of collecting; Grilled Pepper Pork Tenderloin is a recipe from my box.  The majority of these gems have been passed to me from my mom.  I thought you might like to see one of my boxes of recipes.  This is from the era when pen, paper and cute recipe cards where the ways to keep and pass along recipes from generation to generation.  How lucky we are now that we can simply click and save our recipes and entertaining ideas. 

 

Grilled Pepper Pork Tenderloin is a great summer meal that is easy to prepare and quick to grill.  The sour cream sauce that you serve with the pork is incredibly delicious and leftovers make wonderful cold pork sandwichs.  Next time I will be grilling extra tenderloins, one to serve hot and one for sandwiches.  A great Sunday dinner, and delicious sandwiches for lunch for the upcoming week.
