Cooked up some BBQ ribs last night.......

Ah, it's the recipe that is easy enough for just about any person to make, but the results are simply fabulous. I cooked a full rack of BBQ baby back ribs last night. The meat fell right off the bone after it was all done. Here's how you do it.

What you need:

1 bottle of BBQ sauce
1 rack of ribs (beef or pork)

Note: Do not remove fat from ribs. Doing so will dry out the ribs during cooking.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees (use 325 degrees if you like you ribs with no pink inside). Place rack of ribs on a baking pan uncovered. Put the ribs in the oven for 2 hours. At two hours of cook time, remove ribs and pour 1/3 of bottle over top side of ribs. Put the ribs back in the oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove ribs again and flip them over on the pan. Pour 1/3 bottle over the other side of the ribs. Cook for 10 more minutes. Use leftover sauce as needed.

That's it. Really easy to do and plenty to eat when you're done. Add in some baked beans (if you shop well, you can find beans with as little as 2% of all calories coming from fat) and you've got a meal.

Note to my East Coast friends: Kraft BBQ sauce is not actually edible. Do not ruin a perfectly good rack of ribs by smothering it with Kraft BBQ sauce. If you are that desperate, e-mail me and I'll send out some acceptable BBQ sauce free of charge.
