When I was little, I would often ask my mom to make "favorite meat." She knew what I was really requesting was this homey pork recipe. It's been in my family for more than 30 years and is still a favorite! —Alexandra Barnett, Forest, Virginia

Ingredients

1 pork tenderloin (1 pound), cut into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons paprika
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon butter
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Hot cooked egg noodles or rice
Minced fresh parsley, optional

Directions

Toss pork with flour and seasonings. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat; saute pork until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes.
Add cream; bring to a boil, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Cook, uncovered, until cream is slightly thickened, 5-7 minutes.
Serve with noodles. If desired, sprinkle with parsley.

Test Kitchen Tips

For a spicy kick, substitute hot paprika for sweet.

Always store paprika in the refrigerator to keep its flavor fresh.

Found this to be a little bland. I'll add extra spice next time, but will make it again.

I have never made a dish like this before. It was creamy and delicious. I added butter, s & p, and Parm., to the egg noodles and then tossed with the pork.
