Peppercorn Pork Loin
Peppercorn Roasted Pork Loin
Good morning y’all! We already knew how great our day 5 meal from our eMeals week was going to be, because it is a meal we had dozens of time right after Uncle Bee and I first got married: Hormel Peppercorn Marinated Pork Loin, Salt Encrusted Loaded Baked Potatoes and Salad with our favorite Homemade Roasted Garlic Dressing. We ended up choosing this meal from our eMeals menu for our Friday night ‘date night in’. Not only is this meal absolutely delicious and worthy of a ‘date night in’, it requires about 5 minutes of prep work that my 9 year old was able to do. Date Night AND Mama’s night off? Done and DONE!
Peppercorn Pork Loin
Ingredients
2 (1 LB) Peppercorn Marinated Pork Loin
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place pork on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake 30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 155. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with Baked Potatoes and a Salad.
Salt Encrusted Loaded Baked Potatoes
So for the baked potato, the eMeals recipe just called for wrapping potatoes in foil and stabbing with a fork and baking, but since we have all had potatoes done that way, and we LOVE the Salt Encrusted Baked Potatoes, we decided to follow our normal Baked Potato recipe and it was amazing as always
Salt Encrusted Loaded Baked Potato Recipe (Red Lobster Copycat)
Ingredients
4 Large Baking Potatoes
1/4 cup Olive Oil
2 TBSP Kosher Salt
Toppings: Butter, Sour Cream, Bacon Pieces, Cheddar Cheese, Chives
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Scrub Potatoes, rinse and dry. Pour olive oil in 1 plate and Salt in another. Roll Potato in oil then the salt. Lay potatoes down on an ungreased cookie sheet. Stab each potato with a fork a few times. Drizzle any leftover oil in the plate over the potatoes. Bake for 1 hour. Check and see if potatoes are done by poking with a fork. Once done, remove from oven, split in half and top with all the fixin’s!
Our dinner date salad
Creamy Roasted Garlic Dressing
This is my absolute favorite Creamy style dressing. It tastes somewhere between Ranch and Caesar with some Roasted Garlic thrown in there. (And you already know about my garlic obsession… see here, here and here)
Creamy Roasted Garlic Dressing
Ingredients
1/4 cup Roasted Garlic, mashed into a paste (I roast it using this method. It takes me about 2 whole bulbs to get 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup Mayonnaise
3 TBSP grated Parmesan Cheese
1 Lemon, the zest and the juice
3 TBSP Heavy Cream
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Black Pepper
Directions
Combine all ingredients and blend until smooth. If you want the dressing to be thinner, you can add another tablespoon or 2 of heavy cream. Store, covered in the fridge. I hope my fellow garlic lovers try it and let me know what y’all think!
