Cajun Grilled Pork Tenderloin


I got this recipe from my friend Casey.  It was the first thing we cooked on our new grill amd it was awesome! Even my picky eater loved it!

2lb pork tenderloin
3/4 cup frank's hot sauce
1/2 tsp seasoning salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp cumin

Whisk together all of the marinade ingredients. Pour over the pork tenderloin and let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Grill over medium high heat for 8-10 minutes on each side or until the pork tenderloin is cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole


This tater tot breakfast casserole was so easy to put together, I made buttermilk biscuits to go with it and we had some fruit. It was a great and filling meal! This recipe is adapted from The Country Cook.

12 eggs
1/2 bag frozen tater tots
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
12 strips bacon (cooked and crumbled)
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Heat oven to 350. Grease a 9x13 baking dish then lay the tater tots in one layer in the dish. In a mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, crumbled bacon, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir in half of the cheese. Pour over the tater tots then top with the remaining cheese. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until the eggs are set and cooked through.
