Meat and potatoes in one pan !

1 pound pork tenderloin
1 Tbsp butter or olive oil
4 to 5 medium potatoes
2 to 3 cups hot water
1 pkg dry onion soup mix, or 1/4 cup sodium free beef or chicken bouillion
1 cup dairy sour cream - use reduced fat or fat free
1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
pepper, to taste
Procedure:
Cut tenderloin crosswise, into 1/2 inch slices. Melt butter in a skillet and quickly brown meat slices, reduce heat,
cover and simmer for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, wash and slice potatoes into slices about the same thickness as the
meat slices. Add to skillet, stirring well. Combine 2 cupsof the hot water with about half the package of the
dry soup mix, reserving the remainder. Add the water/soup mix to the skillet, stirring well. Replace cover
and simmer another 30 minutes, until potatoes are tender. If water evaporates, add more, up to a whole cup, a
little at a time.Add the reserved soup mix, and the tablespoon of flour, to the sour cream. Mix well and add to the
skillet about 10 minutes before serving, heating thoroughly but do not boil.
