When the store has a cut of meat on the manager's special for $2.98, you buy it and come up with a delicious recipe like my Brown Sugar Glazed Pork Tenderloin.

The other day at the grocery store, I ran upon an amazing sale on 5-pound pork loins. The manager's special was for $2.98! I grabbed one and headed home to make the most amazing meal I have made in a very long time.

The marrying of stone ground mustard and brown sugar make for the most delicious flavors on top of this juicy tender pork loin.

How to Make Brown Sugar Glazed Pork Tenderloin

First — preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Generously salt and pepper your pork loin and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.

When it comes out, rub 1 cup of stone ground mustard all over.

Now top with 2 cups of brown sugar.

Yes — this sounds like a lot, but what you are doing is creating a delicious crust and a sauce all at the same time. Turn oven down to 375 degrees and bake until the internal temperature reaches 150. If you like super well-done pork loin, your internal temperature should read 160 degrees.

Remove from the oven and let it rest for about 20 minutes to let the juices redistribute before you slice into it. When you do, it is the most delicious flavor you will have put in your mouth in a very long time!

I don't do pork, but I bet this would carry over to chicken well. It looks delicious.

Chicken is my next protein to use with this glaze!

Michelle Goth

This is a killer recipe. My husband would really enjoy this.

Marissa Zurfluh

This meal looks so darn good. I love sweet with a bit of my pork.

Heather

The sweetness of that sounds just perfect. I love brown sugar in my baking, but don't use enough of it to cook. I'm sure this will be a crowd pleaser.

Victoria Heckstall

I’m sure that taste as delicious as they look! I would love to try making this recipe. My boys would both probably DIG this!
