Some individuals can't eat fatty foods, because it triggers their heartburn. Eating low-fat meals can help stave off the burn. This recipe combines low-fat pork tenderloin with a creamy sauce that is made from low-fat ingredients -- all combined to make a heartburn-friendly meal.

YUMMY!!!!, Member tdptater

This was absolutely delicious and very easy. My husband suffers from severe heartburn even with medication so we have been trying new recipes. There are so few ingredients to this and soooo much flavor. We ate it over brown rice. I did use heavy whipping cream instead of the cream mentioned because thats all I had but this is a MUST TRY!!! My husband doesn't like carrots so I left those out.
