Yumm Tenderloin!

Here’s what we’re looking for:
Preparation methods: Send us your grilled, baked, fried or broiled favorites.
Variety of dishes: We’ll consider main dish salads, stews, kabobs, stir-fries, casseroles, appetizers, sandwiches and any entree that puts tenderloin in the spotlight.
Prizes:
Three top winners, plus five runners-up. The winner whose recipe is judged “best of the best” and takes our Grand Prize will receive $500.00 in cash!
Second-place winner will cash in, too. The cook whose recipe takes the No. 2 spot will receive $250.00.
Third place: A Euro-Pro Convection Toaster Oven valued at $89.99. With its extra-deep dimensions, this countertop oven is big enough to bake pies, broil a whole chicken, or even cook a pizza (a pizza stone is included). But you’ll save on energy…and won’t heat up the whole kitchen when you use it.
Five runners-up. Each of these creative cooks will receive Taste of Home’s Quick-Fry Electric Skillet, valued at $24.99. At 7 inches, this handy appliance is sized just right for preparing meals for one or two.
Deadline: April 5, 2007
Eligibility: USa and Canada
