Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• At least 16 oz of your favorite BBQ sauce. Home made or commercial brand. I recommend Sweet Baby Ray's Original BBQ sauce.
• Aluminum foil
• Large casserole dish or pan. At least 15 " long, depending on length of rib rack.
• Kitchen tongs
• Sharp kitchen knife
• Paper towels
• 3 1/2 to 4 pounds of pork spare ribs (rack of ribs)
• salt
• black pepper
• garlic minced
• red pepper

1. 
    
   Original Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce !!

   Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

2. Prepare the ribs by removing the membrane from the bony side of the rack. Placing the sharp knife under the membrane and gripping with the paper towels pull the membrane from the ribs. Some racks come with a large portion of boneless pork attached. Remove this portion from the rib portion and trim any excess fat and set aside.

3. 
    
   Ribs with dry rub ready for foil wrap and the refrigerator.

   Prepare a dry rub for both the boneless and bone-in portions of the ribs as follows. In a bowl combine 3 tablespoons of salt, 1 tablespoon of ground black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground red pepper. Rub the mixture on both sides of the rack of ribs and on the boneless rib portion. Place on a platter in the refrigerator covered with foil for at least 1 hour.

4. 
    
   Casserole Dish with BBQ sauce and minced garlic, ready for ribs.

   When ready to cook, place all but 1 cup of the BBQ sauce into the casserole dish. Add 2 teaspoons of minced garlic to the BBQ sauce and mixed together.

5. Add the seasoned pork ribs to the casserole dish turning to cover both sides of the ribs with the BBQ Sauce in the dish.

6. Cover the casserole dish tightly with foil and place on middle rack of the pre heated oven. Cook for 1 1/2 hours.

7. After the 1st 1 1/2 hours, uncover the ribs and turn over. Pour the remaining cup of BBQ sauce over the ribs after turning. Place foil back over the ribs and return to the oven for an additional 1 1/2 hours.

8. 
    
   OUT OF THE OVEN, READY TO BE EATEN !!!!

   Once ribs are cooked, let rest for 5 - 8 minutes before cutting into sections. The meat is so tender it will be falling off the bones.

9. Serve with salad, cole slaw, potatoe salad and COLD BEER !!!

on 9/8/2008 Very easy to make in the oven. Tastes delish and falls off the bone. Use lots of napkins.
