I’ve got a new way to cook ribs that I discovered by accident. My favorite recipe called for creating a rub with brown sugar, hickory smoke salt (I use liquid smoke), paprika, garlic powder and ground red pepper (I use my cayenne). You would normally rub the stuff onto the meat and cook it in the oven, adding your favorite barbeque sauce at the end, the idea being not to cook the sauce.
Last time I added the barbeque sauce (Sweet Baby Ray) right into the rub mix, oops. To salvage them I used a commercial rub we had sitting in the cabinet and then smothered the cut sections of meat with my sauce. I couldn’t bake them at this point so I wrapped them up in foil and slow-cooked them in the crockpot.
I’ve repeated that process today, cooking on six hour setting for a while and I’ll be finishing up on eight, just in time for dinner. The real secret to this process is to put the crockpot out in the grungiest part of the garage so it doesn’t make the house smell like delicious ribs all day. Click the photo below for more pictures.
The thick sauce gets cooked deep into the meat and it falls right off the bone.
Those things made my mouth water . Looking like good eats. Yummy yum yum.
Drop on by, there’s enough! Can you get here by 1700 :-)
