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.

This recipe was amazing. I cooked one tenderloin and didn't think one envelope of the soup mix was enough so I used two..not a good idea! It was too salty in places but overall it was the best pork roast I ever cooked. Trying it again tonight with one envelope. Can't wait!!

I have made this recipe twice and have had nothing but rave reviews. In fact, I prepared it for our Monsignor friend, and he asked me yesterday for that wonderful pork tenderloin recipe he had because he would like to make it himself. I keep trying different ones, but this is by far the best I have found. I use a big tenderloin and just mix the mayo (Hellman's) with the dry soup mix. It is so easy, moist and tasty but looks like you fussed all day :))

We LOVE IT! I did add a modification. I sauté onions and fresh garlic then I add it to this recipe. I also seasoned the pork loin with a little bit of garlic powder. IT WAS A HIT!

I only have Knorr onion soup mix, can I use that and will it taste as good. I am thinking so, as Knorr is so much better than Lipton.

Making the second time in a month tonight. Only thing I need is to find a lower salt soup mix. The one I used was a bit salty but tastes great. Served with garlic loaf and tater tots. Good recipe, will use again and customize - maybe try vegetable soup mix. THANK YOU.

I didn't have Mayo or Lipton soup mix so I used Ranch dressing. Wow! My family agrees that this was the tenderest Pork tenderloin we've ever had. also the pan drippings, which are low in fat, made a great drizzle. Thanks for this recipe :-D
