What to do with leftover Pork Loin and Spaghetti Sauce?

I made a Bacon-Wrapped Pork Loin on Valentine's Day for my little family, my parents and my brother.  It was huge!  We had about 1/2 of it left.  So last night's dinner was a dish made with leftover pork loin and tonight's will be too.  Growing up, my mom used to make a great beef stroganoff.  It wasn't fancy, but it was really good.  She made it with hamburger, but since we had so much pork leftover, I made a version of it with pork.  We had some friends over for dinner last night and they seemed to really enjoy it.  I hope your family does too!

Pork Stroganoff
Ingredients:
1 1/2 Medium Green Peppers- Chopped
1/2 Cup Finely Chopped Onion
1/2 Cup Water
1 Can Cream of Soup (I used celery)
1 Can of Milk (use the cream of soup can)
1/4 Cup Sour Cream
1/2 Cup Spaghetti Sauce
1 1/2 TBSP Sugar
2 Squirts of Ketchup
1 TBSP Minced Garlic (refrigerated kind)
3 Cups Chopped Pork Loin
Salt
Pepper


2 Cups Uncooked Pasta (3 cups cooked)

Cook Pasta in a separate dish.

In a large frying pan, saute green peppers and onions in water.  Cook until water is almost gone and onions start to become translucent.  Next add cream of soup, milk, sour cream, spaghetti sauce, sugar, ketchup and minced garlic.  Cook until sauce thickens up.  Generously season with salt and pepper.  Add pork loin and continue cooking.  After pork loin is heated, add cooked pasta and cook until dish is nice and creamy.
