Back again! Good Monday to y’all,
This week we are sharing a Roasted Pork Loin with Mustard Peppercorn Gravy. The local food distributor had a sale on pork loin chops, a BOGO deal that we could not pass up ,and since I like these, it was a win win. I have posted other recipes using these before, so we wanted to post something different and delicious, and these fit the bill nicely. These cook up in a reasonable time and do not take a whole lot of prep, so it could be a during the week meal that’s kicked up a notch.
So let’s get to it.

Courses Entree
As I said, I like pork loin chops. These are very tasty and the mustard peppercorn gravy gives it a nice edge. This can be served with any type of winter vegetable or creamed potato’s (since potato’s are a gravy transportation device).
Give it a shot and let me know how they turn out.
