BBQ Pork Ribs

This is an easy and great meal.  Perfect in the summer or winter. What you’ll need: 1-2 Racks of ribs, kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, ketchup, liquid smoke, and brown sugar.

Get your large cookie sheet and a piece of tinfoil long enough to wrap around and seal the ribs.  Make sure the tinfoil is really heavy duty.  I get mine at Costco.  If you do not have the really heavy stuff, you will probably need to double wrap it. I also got these ribs at Costco.  They are the pork ribs and have two racks in a package. I place them on the tinfoil to keep the mess confined to one spot.

Take the ribs out of the package and sprinkle both sides generously with kosher salt, pepper, and garlic powder.  I tried to show you the amount sprinkled on, but it soaked in quick.  Just get plenty on there.  Pork needs the seasoning to be good.

Make your BBQ sauce by mixing ketchup, brown sugar, and liquid smoke.

Before you get ready to serve theribs, take them out to your grill.  It was raining, so I didn’t dare go out with my camera.  So use your imagination here until I cook them again and add these pictures.

Take the whole pan to the grill and unwrap it.  Take your rack of ribs and place them meaty side down first and let them cook for about 5 minutes.  Flip them over and slather on your BBQ sauce and let them sit for another 5 minutes.

When they are done cooking, you can set them right back on your tinfoil pan and bring them back in the house.  Ready to eat!!  YUM!  Keep some extra BBQ sauce on had just in case you need a little more while eating.

Here is another Sauce recipe from my friend, Jill, who showed me how to do these ribs.  She said that she makes her sauce using equal portions of ketchup, honey, and brown sugar.

For example:

1 C Ketchup

1 C Brown Sugar

1 C Honey
