Oven Baked Pork Tenderlion and Old Bay Potatoes

Sometimes, I don’t want to cook.

Sometimes, I wish there was a magical dinner that I could throw in the microwave like The Jetsons tv show.

And sometimes, I just need a budget-friendly recipe so I can enjoy other things with my money. 😉

When I feel like having it easy, saving money or I only have 4 ingredients on hand, I always go to this recipe.

It’s one of those, pantry staple recipes for our family.

In a deep sauce pan, add as many potatoes as you want.

Add water to cover potatoes and old bay. If you really want to season it, add up to 1/2 cup.

Cook until a fork can break through the potato. (If using a lot, up to 15 minutes)

BONUS: Throw in your vegetable with the potatoes and cook both at the same time! I like using green beans myself.

There you have it, an easy, budget-friendly meal!
