Wednesday's Work-Pork Loin

Menu serves about 50 people.

Pork Loin
Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
Carrots
Rolls
Cookies and Ice Cream

Pork Tenderloin
2-10lb. pork tenderloin, cut into thirds
1-1/2 c. rosemary and garlic seasoning (we found a 26 oz. container of this at Sam's)

Rub each section of pork with 1/4 c. rosemary garlic seasoning. Wrap in aluminum foil. Place in a roasting pan and cook at 275 degrees for 5-6 hours or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Remove from foil and slice or shred (your preference). Reserve drippings to use in gravy.


Mashed Potatoes
20 lbs. potatoes
1/2 gallon milk
2-3 sticks of butter or margarine
4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. pepper

Peel and dice potatoes. Cover completely with water. Bring to boil and continue to boil until fork tender. Drain potatoes and return to pan. Add milk, butter, salt and pepper and mix using electric mixer until desired consistency is reached.

Gravy
At Sam's you can buy a 24 oz. container of powdered gravy mix. You can buy chicken, beef or pork flavored. To give it a zing, make sure to use the pan drippings from whatever meat you're using. If there is not enough drippings, add water to get amount called for.
