Ingredients

Dry Rub
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup salt
1/4 cup ground black pepper
1/4 cup paprika
2 slabs baby back ribs
BBQ Sauce
2 cups ketchup
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Combine all the ingredients for the dry rub in a small mixing bowl. Rub the ribs with the dry rub. Wrap in plastic wrap and let marinate in refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.

Place ribs on a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Cover tightly with foil and place in middle rack of oven. Let roast for 2 1/2 hours.

For the BBQ Sauce:

Add all the ingredients to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil then reduce to a low simmer. Let simmer for 25 minutes, on low heat, stirring occasionally.

Preheat grill to medium heat.

Take ribs out of the oven and place on grill to finish. Cook for 20 more minutes, turning and basting with sauce. Remove from grill and serve as either racks or cut into ribs.

*Cook's Note: 2 slabs of Baby Back Ribs equates to 4 racks of ribs

The ONLY ribs I make!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I'm not sure why the word is not out on this recipe. ( It only has 20 reviews). Maybe people are afraid of the sugar/meat... combo. They are the most tender ribs and not sweet. I cut everything in half and it's perfect for a family of four. I have started making the entire rub recipe because I make them so often now it is easier to mix up the rub once and use it for two separate dinners. Bottled sauce is fine, but the sauce recipe is simple to make and great if you find yourself in a pinch with no BBQ sauce on hand.Read more

Easy & Tasty
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was actually my first attempt at ribs, as I'm more of a Tex Mex/Italian kind of gal. My husband loves this sort of... thing, so I figured why not. As I was putting this together I thought it may be too sweet. Turns out all the flavors meld fabulously together. This one is a keeper for sure. Thanks Paula!Read more

RE: Mouthwash
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I'll have to agree somewhat on the "mouthwash" review from Michael. The rub comment WAS a little over the top. I'm a 54... year old male and have been around in my life! That comment even made me cringe! I do not agree however, with Michaels comment about Paula's Grandson. Have to admit though. these ribs are fantastic! Maybe the next time it's aired, that part can be cut. BUT thats just my opinion! We all have them!Read more
