Super Duper Easy Pork Tenderloiin

So I made this the other night and let me say it was delish. And the best part was how EASY it was!!

Pork Tenderloin

2 small pork tenderloins (about 1 3/4 pounds total- I cut mine in half)
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons olive oil


Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl and place to the side.  Rub olive oil all over the tenderloins, then coat with the spice rub.  Wrap each tenderloin tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate 3 to 6 hours.

Remove the pork from the refrigerator about 30 mins before baking.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Place tenderloin in a 9 by 13 dish.  Put pork in oven for 15 minutes.  Turn off oven.  DO NOT open oven door.  Let the tenderloin sit in oven 45-60 minutes longer, until meat thermometer reads 145 degrees.

My meat thermometer is broken but after 45 minutes in oven, mine was done :)

I made Pioneer Women's smashed potates and sauted zucchini and squash as sides.
