JALAPENO POPPER PORK TENDERLOIN
Pork tenderloin was on sale so of course I bought it without a plan. This is what I did. My husband does Weight Watchers and this is one of the dishes I serve him. It's WW friendly if you use fat free cream cheese and oil spray instead of vegetable oil. I've also done it with low fat mozzarella sticks added!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400
- 2. Cut tenderloin down the middle but not all the way through, you should be able to open it like a book. Cover with plastic and pound it to even out the thickness. Don't make it super thin, just even it out!
- 3. Season with salt and pepper
- 4. Mix the ranch seasoning with the cream cheese. Spread it down the middle of the pork. Don't spread it to the edges, it'll just run out while cooking.
- 5. Sprinkle with the diced jalapeno.
- 6. Fold the pork over. If you have butcher's twine tie it off. If you don't have it don't stress, it'll be fine like it is.
- 7. Heat a non stick, ovenproof skillet over med-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil (or a few sprays if watching fat). Brown the pork on one side, carefully flip it.
- 8. Cover the skillet with foil or a lid. Place in oven and bake for 20-30 minutes until a thermometer reads 145 degrees.
- 9. OPTIONAL - here's some great additions - sauteed spinach, crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese sticks down the middle, experiment!
