These delicious, homemade, BEST EVER BBQ Ribs will leave your mouth watering for more!

There is something you should know about me. I love food. No, really. I love to eat. Growing up I was a snacker and I still am. Luckily, I could get away with eating just about anything. Unfortunately, that's not the case now in my older age, but I digress. Put something in front of me and I'll eat it. I think it's genetic too because my kids are snackers. Every 5 minutes (and, right after dinner of course), they are hungry and want a 'snack'.

Because I love food, homemade BBQ ribs are one of my favorite meals. I've had some decent ribs at restaurants in my life, but to be honest, I'd rather make my own. Or have my husband make them for us. He's the chef of the house. I can make basic dishes in my sleep but when it comes to ribs, he is my go-to guy.

These ribs are seriously the BEST EVER BBQ RIBS. They are seasoned to perfection and fall off the bone good. And because I'm a busy mom, I always try to buy 2-3 racks at a time so we have BBQ pork leftover which is perfect for sandwiches, casseroles and just heating up for a quick meal on the go.

Now, even though my husband usually makes these, they are EASY and I've even made them as well. So let's get started!

These delicious, homemade, BEST EVER, BBQ ribs will leave your mouth watering for more!

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 4 minutes

Total Time 19 minutes

Ingredients

• 2-3 racks of babyback ribs
• salt & pepper
• blackening
• 1 bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.

Flip each rack of ribs over a peel off the membrane (a clear skin-like piece; see photo) and discard. Repeat with each rib.

Flip the ribs back over and season each rib with salt and pepper and lots of blackening. Use your fingers to rub it onto the meat.

Place the ribs in a 9x13 baking dish (you may need a second baking dish to hold all the racks) and fill with 2" of water.

Cover the baking dishes with foil.

Bake for 2 ½ - 3 hours.

Remove from the oven.

Preheat your grill (we prefer our old bbq grill for grilling).

Once the grill has heated, place each rack of ribs on the grill and generously slather with Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce. Cook the ribs for about 15-20 minutes or until the bbq sauce starts to crystallize.

*Notes: if you prefer to not turn your grill on, simply remove the ribs from the baking dishes and place on baking sheets. Slather with Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce and place under the broiler for 10-15 minutes.
