What's for dinner tonight? Dinner ideas?

Probably one of the easiest and cheapest things to cook for a family meal on the Traeger is a Pork Tenderloin. These puppies can be had in my local HEB for about $7-8 buck for two tenderloin for a total of 2+ lbs. of lean protein.

Easy Peasy. First, rub your tenderloins with EVO, then dust with your favorite BBQ rub. Then go fire up your Traeger to 375. When it comes to temp, pop em on and wait 20 minutes then flip and wait 10 more. More often then not, they will be about 145 internal by then. Check them if you want before hand with a good instant temp thermometer like the Thermapen MK4 while enjoying an adult beverage. Pull them off at 145 and let them rest a few minutes. There will be some pink areas, but that's perfectly OK. Talk about tender pork. Mmmm. Serve with Raspberry Chipolte dipping sauce.

I gotta give a shout out to Holy Gospel on chicken legs... I didn't take any pics cuz it was just 7 legs out of a 14 leg pack for only $5... didn't think nothing of it really but I hung them from my leg rack after putting some serious amount of Holy Gospel on them... WOW, when the wife is impressed, all is good in the land
Can't wait to do the other 7... (y)

You need to try braiding the tenderloin. Cut three parallel strips into each loin, stopping about an inch from the one end. Season each leg with a different rub and then braid them together.
Just gives it a different look and a blend of seasoning

Cool. My braiding skills are zilch. I'll get SWMBO to do that, otherwise it will look like a square know or a pretzel. :)
lol I get that. I had never braided anything in my life before I tried. Yes, it shows....??
I even tried adding some bacon into the weave. Not necessary, but I like bacon

Cool idea, now thinking of complimentary rub blends. This is going to happen.
