Ribs Ribs Ribs

Yesterday I tried to make ribs for the very first time. I had one of my soon to be sister in-law, her son, my mother, and my fiancé as my taste testers. Well my little nephew in-law ate at least a half slab without leaving a trace behind on the bone but had BBQ sauce all over his face and fingers..... I think they turned out pretty good. I love when I have family over for dinner and my new recipe becomes a hit, unlike my pot roast earlier this year.... oops

Well now lets cut to the chase. I posted a grocery list yesterday but here are you ingredients again;

Ribs

1 Package Back Ribs (side ribs will work but will take longer to cook)

2 Large Onions

4 cloves Garlic, sliced

Olive Oil, Salt & Pepper (see note below) OR BBQ Sauce Below (or both!)

Rib Rub

1 tablespoon Paprika

1 tablespoon brown sugar

3/4 teaspoon garlic powder

3/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper

Instructions

First take all of your seasonings for you rib run and combine them into one bowl.

Next take one large onion or two small and cut them up like so

Not take you ribs out and don't forget to pull that white membrane off of them. Than place onto a foil lined baking sheet and give them a nice massage with  the rib rub. When you place the ribs done make sure the bony side is on the bottom side. Next take your onion and garlic and spread them around onto your ribs.

Cover your ribs with some foil nice a tight, still allow some breathing room but make sure all corners are sealed. Then put them in the over for 2 hours at 275. Open up the corner and check to make sure they are tender. If the aren't put them back in for another 20 minutes. Mmmmm they will make your house smell so good!

If you have a charcoal grill like I do about 40 minutes before the ribs are done get that bad boy started, you want your charcoal to be nice a grey.

Once the ribs are done transfer them outside carefully, your baking sheet will have lots of juice in it. Toss them on the grill and slather them in your favorite sauce, I used a Kansas City BBQ sauce. After about 10 minutes flip them and sauce up the other side.

Once you have some nice sticky sauce and some charcoal marks they are ready to eat! Make sure you have everything you need before you start eating because these are messy messy messy!!!! (Best way to have them!)




I served these up with a yummy cucumber salsa, potato salad, and some great grilled corn! Hope you all enjoy!

Until next time,
