Pork Tenderloin Casserole with Bacon and Cocktail Sausages
4 people
Preparation time: 60 minutes
Ingredients:
½ kg (18 oz) pork tenderloin
125-150 g (4.4 - 5.3 oz) bacon in cubes
200 g (7 oz) cocktail sausages
500 g (18 oz) champignons (mushrooms)
1/4 liter (1 cup) light cream (or half-and-half)
3/4 liter (3.2 cups) milk
120 g (4.2 oz) tomato paste
Ketchup
Paprika
Salt
Boiled rice
Instructions:
Step 1: Clean the pork tenderloin (remove fat and tendons) and cut it into 2cm (3/4") thick pieces.
Step 2: Fry the bacon and sausages in a saucepan. When done, put it on a plate.
Step 3: Rinse the champignons (mushrooms) and slice them. Fry them in some of the bacon grease left in the saucepan. When done, put them on the plate with the bacon and sausages.
Step 4: Fry the small pork steaks together with salt and paprika. When done, put them on the plate.
Step 5: Heat up the cream, milk and tomato paste in the saucepan. The sauce is supposed to be a little thick. If necessary use some corn flour for thickening. Let it heat for about 5-10 minutes.
Step 6: Pour all the prepared ingredients back in the saucepan. Add a bit of ketchup, salt and paprika until the sauce has the desired flavor. Let everything heat for about 5-10 minutes.
Serve the pork stew with boiled rice and maybe some chopped parsley and some green peas. If you want to make the dish a bit healthier you can use brown rice which has a greater content of dietary fiber.

Hi Kim, lovely looking recipe! How long should you cook the sauce for after adding the ingredients, and do you heat it all up together when the sauce is complete?
Thanks,
Margaret

Hi Margaret. That's a good question. I can see that I've forgot to add this information to the recipe. Thanks for letting me know. When adding the ingredient for the sauce let it heat for about 5-10 minutes. Also, after you have added the rest of the ingredient then let the sauce heat for 5-10 minutes. Everything should be nice and hot when done.
