We are getting our pork on, thanks to Smithfield! All recipes and opinions are my own, so enjoy, and thank you for supporting the sponsors who support A Simple Pantry!
Can we forget about the turkey for a minute and talk about these amazing Peppered Pork Sliders with Honey Mustard Sauce?
Holy amazing, Batman.
These little bad boys are ready to eat in just 30 minutes, and they will easily make you as giddy as me, because zomg they are delish.
I mean, turkey is great and all, but seriously, this pork is beyond amazing. And once you are done getting stuffed on leftovers, you’ll be glad to have this recipe waiting in the wings.
I started with the most delectable Smithfield Roasted Garlic & Cracked Black Pepper Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloin, seared it off in my cast iron skillet, then threw it in the oven to finish.
While the Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloin finished in the oven, I whipped up a super easy and delicious honey mustard sauce.
The beauty of these peppered pork sliders is how well all the flavors work. You have the intense spiced flavors of the pork, the bite of red onions, the smoothness of Monterey jack cheese. Combined with the tangy honey mustard sauce and the slightly sweet saltiness of the pretzel buns, you know you’ve hit the dinner jackpot right here!
Did I forget to mention the bacon? Yes, folks, there is bacon!
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacon.
We are in pork heaven up in hurr.

I have made this twice and both times they were fantastic. The first time we just ate the loin with mashed potatoes and gravy made from the drippings; such a lovely impressive meal. The second time we had the full sliders. Yum as well.
I buy 10 pound pork loins for 1.49 per pound of good lean meat, so I am always looking for new flavors and this is a winner.
