Pork Tenderloin Foil Packet


Yesterday was a hot day and the rest of the week is shaping up to be the same. We hit 102° yesterday and we are supposed to hit 107° on Friday. That is just way too hot to be doing much of anything! When it gets that hot, it is tricky to come up with a meal where you don’t have to slave over any form of heat. I really do not want to turn on the stove or oven, so these are the days where I turn to my grill. I try to pick easy recipes where little to no prep is involved, so I don’t get overworked and overheated. The most important thing for staying cool is that the meal can be cooked on the grill. I especially love when I don’t have to sit and babysit my meat on the grill, but can leave it for a set amount of time and grab it when it’s ready.

These such meals are also perfect for any BBQ or holiday that you spend outdoors, such as Memorial Day and the 4th of July! This Pork Tenderloin Foil Packet is so unbelievably easy and is sure to please any crowd! It makes a nice big batch too! While attending cooking school as one of the Reynolds Real Moms, I learned about Reynolds Grill foil and I am in love! It makes for nice big sheets of foil – perfect for wrapping up large pieces of meat.

  • Absolutely! Most recipes can go between grill and oven. In the oven you’ll typically want to cook recipes 1 1/2 to 2 times as long as the grill version. Try a temperature of 375°.
