The page in my recipe book is so messy from making these ribs so often.  I always requested these whenever I came home from college.  The ribs are easy to make and freeze well or double the batch to serve at a gathering.  They reheat very well in the slow cooker and become more tender over time.

Ingredients

Pork Loin Country Style Ribs; Boneless

Your favorite type of BBQ Sauce, I like Sweet Baby Ray’s

1 Large Onion; Chopped

Brown Sugar

Salt & Pepper to Taste

I also like to add a dash of dry mustard and Cayenne Pepper

Directions

1.  Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees.

2.  Wash the meat and add salt & pepper as well as the chopped Onion.

3.  Cover with Aluminum Foil and Make Slits in the foil to vent.

4.  Bake for one hour; turning the meat every 20 minutes or so.

5.  After the first hour of baking, remove the foil and continue baking for another 45 minutes to “brown” the meat.

6.  Drain any excess grease from the meat. 

7.  Then cover generously with BBQ Sauce and Brown Sugar (I usually use about 1-1.5 cups).

8.  Refrigerate over night for best flavor, even two nights is best.

9.  To Reheat the ribs you can:  heat on the stove top over medium heat for about 20-30 minutes, in the oven on 250 Degrees for about a half hour (check/stir every 10 minutes) or in a slow cooker.  For the slow cooker I put the ribs in before I leave for work and when it’s dinner time they’re perfect!

Try these delicious burgers as a healthy substitute. I purchase the extra lean ground turkey, which has only 1.5g of fat per serving. The burger is great on a whole wheat bun with some mayo or horseradish. Enjoy them for your next outdoor get together!

3/4 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup finely chopped sweet red OR green pepper
1/2 cup shredded zucchini

2 garlic cloves-minced
1/4 tsp salt
