Every January, we host a family get-together to watch "the big game" on TV. I'm not much of a football fan, but I do enjoy that annual opportunity to try out new recipes. These tasty finger sandwiches scored a "touchdown" with everyone who tried them! If you don't want to miss a play, you can prepare this appetizer ahead and heat it up at halftime.

Ingredients

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound pork tenderloin
12 dinner rolls, warmed

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, oil, ginger, mustard and garlic. Pour 3/4 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add pork. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 12 hours or overnight; turning several times. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
Drain and discard marinade. Grill pork, uncovered, on an oiled rack over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 7-8 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160°. Baste with remaining marinade during the last 7 minutes of cooking.
Let stand for 10 minutes; carve in thin slices and serve on rolls.

These little sliders are always a great hit. My husband & I recently celebrated our 50th birthdays. I served these at the party & they were gone almost before I put the platter down! - Sarah Vasques

The only thing I added was a bowl of the sauce so you can dip the roll in it. Then just be sure to have extra napkins around. This could be called "Philly" style, or various other cities depending on where you were raised!

The diabetic exchange is wrong on this recipe. No fruit in it. Does not address meat and carbs, etc.

These are simple but delicious! My family can't get enough of them! I just serve them up with picnic-style sides to make a full meal.
