THE BEST PORK TENDERLOIN 
I've been told many times this is the best pork loin ever! The mayonnaise melts into the soup mix and makes an incredibly soft crust that you won't believe. It's so easy and will impress your friends.

2 pork tenderloins
1 jar Best Foods mayonnaise
1 box (2 envelopes) Lipton's Dry Onion Soup Mix
1 (9x13-inch) baking pan or dish

Set oven to 375°F.

Pat tenderloins dry with a paper towel and place in 9x13-inch baking dish or pan. Coat both loins evenly with the mayonnaise about 1/8 of an inch thick around entire loin.

Empty the envelopes of soup mix on cutting board and use rolling pin or back of big spoon to crush up the soup mix as best you can. Evenly sprinkle on top of mayonnaise around entire outside of both loins.

Bake, uncovered, for about 35 to 45 minutes or until internal temperature is about 160°F or according to USDA standards for cooking pork.

Recipe may be halved for a smaller family. This feeds 5 to 6 people as-is.

The Best Pork Tenderloin

I stopped making tenderloin because I always overcook it to the point of total dryness. I tried this recipe last weekend and was really surprised by how good it was. It was tender and juicy. After reading some of the comments I decided to mix some bread crumbs and parmesan cheese along with the onion soup mix and it was delicious, also mixed miracle whip, mayo and stone grd mustard together for the coating. I'm wondering if anyone put it on a rack to keep the crust on the bottom. Thank you for a great recipe.

This recipe is wonderful. Always works. I do not use as much mayo but I do slather on. My husband loves it and he usually doesn't comment. while the tenderloins cook I and make homemade applesauce. Just peal and cube put in a pot with tbsp. water add sugar to taste. Can be chunky or smooth.

Thought this recipe was weird at first, but decided to give it a try. I added carrots, onions, and potatoes, covered in tin foil and cooked for 1hr 20min. SO YUMMY!!!!

This is the absolute best pork loin I've ever had! I'm making it again today. Anyone tried it with Italian seasoning rather than onion soup mix??? Just wondering... I do use Miracle Whip as that's the only thing we eat in this house... and it was DELICIOUS!!!

I didn't have soup mix so I used Parmesan cheese mixed 1 to 1 with bread crumbs and some seasonings I threw in. It was AWESOME!! I'm making it for the second time this month and I can't really say that I have made pork tenderloin more than once a year ever!! Thanks for this awesome recipe! Not just a great thing to make but also a great jumping off point for adapting it to what you have!! :D

I tried this pork loin, but, used Parmesan cheese with the miracle whip! I cater, and am always making this pork - by demand and word of mouth! It has been my most requested recipe. Enjoy!

I looked for the onion soup mix and couldn't find it. What exactly is it a "dry soup?" anyways I used dried onions instead and it was DELICIOUS. I would do it again. Thank you for the recipe.

Eddie, pick up a box of "Lipton's Onion Soup Mix" at your favorite supermarket. The (small) box contains 6 or so soup packets. Quite a few recipes use them for seasoning and flavoring. Enjoy!

Eddie;
Lipton makes several "dry" soups. They are right near the regular soups. Look for the foil envelops/packets. There are usually several varieties such as onion, vegetable, etc. Lots of folks use these as a fool-proof seasoning for roasts. I use the French onion as a pre-roast topping on my chuck roasts.
