How long and what temparture do I cook a 3lb Pork Tenderloin?!

Question: I just made pork tenderloin yesterday! However it was only a little over a pound. The directions on the package said to cook it at 450 for 15 minutes, but I don't think that you should triple that. Probably at 400 for 45 minutes would work. I think you should cook it a little longer at a lower temperature to make sure that it is cooked through.

I wouldn't cover it. Let it brown nicely. And yes, you can put Italian Dressing or whatever you want on it. I put olive oil and seasonings on mine, and I cooked it with potatoes in the pan to roast. It was great.
