BOTTOM-OF-THE-BOX CRUSHED CRACKER PORK
"Get the kids involved with this fun recipe from Heidi Morris that was an honorable mention for the "No Recipe" recipe contest."

1 pound pork tenderloin
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon steak sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup cheese crackers, finely crushed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided use
FOR SERVING (optional):
Ranch dressing
Barbecue sauce
Creamy Dijon Mustard Sauce (see recipe)
Mandarin Peach Sauce (see recipe)

Combine egg, steak sauce and garlic powder in a shallow dish. Place crushed crackers in another shallow dish.

Cut tenderloin crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices; pound or flatten slices with the heal of your hand to 1/4-inch thickness.

Dip each slice first into egg mixture, then cracker crumbs, turning to coat.

Heat one tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add half of pork slices and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side or until browned. Repeat with remaining oil and pork slices (or use 2 skillets at one time).

A good finger food to serve with your favorite dipping sauce like ranch dressing or barbecue sauce. Or try Creamy Dijon Mustard Sauce or Mandarin Peach Sauce for a change of pace.
