This is a perfect dinner to freeze and reheat - it's kid-pleasing flavors actually improve over time.

Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon mild chili powder
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

How to make:

1. In 3-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in chili powder, dry mustard, add cinnamon. Cook 1 minute. Add ketchup, honey, orange juice, and vinegar. Bring mixture to a boil and add sliced pork tenderloin.
