Grilled Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches

By Judy1

This dinner is ready for the road—Prepare the pork and assemble the sandwiches at home. Wrapped in foil, they'll stay warm while you travel. Or slice and refrigerate roasted tenderloin, and serve the sandwiches cold. Take along the dressing in a thermos or tightly closed jar, and allow people to dress their sandwiches themselves
