This probably isn’t the best way to introduce a recipe…but I’m always honest with my dear readers. I prefer grilled ribs. If you’re going to scarf down on great country-style BBQ ribs, it should be grilled. If you can’t get grilled ribs, this is the second best. I’ll confess: they actually win out over grilled on the moist, fall-off-the-bone department.
My husband begs to differ. I’m not sure if it’s because:
1) he prefers the baked version for its “fall-off-the-bone” juiciness -or-
2) if he just likes the fact that I have to make them.
You will be relieved to know this recipe does not attempt to argue for a certain BBQ sauce. I used the generic term “BBQ sauce.” Pick your own. I’m sure most of you have one you passionately defend to the death. haha.
I’m simply sharing the cooking method. And the pics, of course.
If you can’t take your eyes off of those mashed potatoes on the side, check out “Loaded Mashed Potato Casserole.” It’s the perfect side-dish!
