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

 Susan (Arizona) says:
This was the best Pork Tenderloin we've ever eaten. Extremely tender and moist. I removed the roast to let it stand, and added cooked egg noodles to the drippings and left in oven for about 5 minutes. Will definitely make again very soon. Thank you

I have made this twice now and it was delicious both times. For the second occasion, I pre-mixed the ground soup mix with the mayo prior to spreading on the pork. This gave a more even flavor to the glaze. For 2 lbs pork loin I used approximately 3/4 cup of mayo.

I'm no cook and I prepared this and it was delicious!!! Even my husband and brother-in-law (who are both quite difficult to please) enjoyed it. Plan to make it again over the next week as kroger had tenderloins on sale for $2.49/lb. I definitely had to cook for longer than 45 minutes, I guess maybe due to the size??? It was great though and so tender and moist!!! And EASY!

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.

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!

 Sarah (California) says:
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

 Kimmie (Pennsylvania) says:
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!!!

 EASY and GOOD!!! (Illinois) says:
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!!!!
