Crispy Onion Pork Tenderloin

Crispy Onion Pork Tenderloin

I came up with the original idea for this recipe when making a green bean casserole, the flavor of the onions and the pork work awesome together; time permitting I make my own fried onions as well. I like to serve this with a cheesy garlic mashed potato and a fresh green salad.
