Just did this recipe for 4th of July using 2 baby back rib racks. I upped the temp to 275 degrees and baked for 3 hours (covered the pan w/ foil) and I couldn't even lift the ribs out w/out them falling right off the bone. They were just so yummy and my kids devoured them!




Great Ribs

I just made this for a party for about 10-15 people and 4 racks of ribs were eaten with no problem. Some ate it dry and some used the BBQ sauces I put beside the plate...depends on preference of wet or dry ribs. These are so easy to make and the juiciest ribs I've ever had. I cut down the pepper to half and it was perfect! Thanks Paula!




i recommend a slow cooker

as the recipe states my ribs were tough . i finished them off in the slow cooker for 3 more hours and they were great. i normally only use the slow cooker and they are always soft. a marinate i use is a can of guava concentrate (in the freezer isle, a whole bottle barbecue sauce(i prefer cattlemans) and honey to tast.




Absolutely Awesome. Deserves 10 Stars.

I used baby back ribs (spareribs). I presume that is what the recipe called for. I read the reviews and used 1/2 the amount of black pepper. The best ribs I ever made or ate. I cooked them in the oven. I hear that people in the northeast like ribs slathered in sauce. I have lived here all my life and don't like it that way at all. Maybe a little sauce on the side if I want it. I have made ribs in the past with a dry rub with every spice and herb in the cabinet, looking for the right combination. This recipe answers all my questions. My husband loved it. No sauce either.




AWESOME!

The ribs were tender and delicious. Everyone was amazed that one could make such tasty ribs in the oven. The recipe was easy to follow, and there was little preparation needed.

Wonderful rub

My only comment would be to use this rub sparingly. This is a delicious but over-powering rub. I would estimate that this is enough for close to 4 racks of ribs and they would still be spicy and yummy!!! They were fall off the bone tender. Who the heck needs BBQ sauce???? Good going, Paula. You've done it again.




Ok

Technique is right on for cooking ribs but spice rub was missing something and was a tad spicey for my taste.




pretty good...

though it little heavy on the black pepper side. Maybe I just used too much of the dry rub. In any case, the ribs came out great, moist, falling off the bone. This method of a slow long roast is the best method I've used so far.




Texans do it right....

Not only did I try it with pork ribs, but beef ribs and roasts. It is so simple and tasty. Now my husband insists on ribs and roasts using this recipe.

This is a FANTASTIC recipe!! Paula Dean really knows what she's doing. Like they day, its not the sauce you use on your ribs, its the rub.




Delicious!

RUB WITH A KICK

A dry rub with a kick! This is a wonderful crowd pleaser with adults and kids. Would not change a thing. Just mix, rub and let marinade overnight.
