Comments
Thanks Eva for this family favorite. I'm probably the last one who does not already know how to make this incredible treat.  Mom says, for those super hot days when you don't want to fire up the oven for very long, precook the prepared mixture in a microwave, then just finish browning in the oven.

Serve over vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt.

BBQ Pork or Beef Ribs

Ingredients
Schilling or McCormick pork rub
Slab of pork or beef ribs, with or without bones - I prefer the bones
Jar of Bullseye BBQ sauce or your favorite BBQ sauce - ours is a jar homemade by Maya

Directions
Use a sharp knifes trim away any excessive fat from the ribs and then score between ribs- not all the way through
Rub meat all over liberally with the spicy rub ,then wrap tightly in foil.
Let stand as long as possible, hopefully overnight, but if short on time, you can cook immediately.

You can cook this in an outdoor BBQ or in the oven indoors.
Preheat oven to 400, and start ribs while still sealed in foil for 30 minutes.
Turn down the heat to 300, and leave meat in oven 4-5 hours. Longer if temp is longer. Keep foil tightly closed.

Now, carefully open foil, and liberally smear ribs with BBQ sauce. Place back in oven for 5-10 minutes.

Take out of oven and place ribs on heated platter. Serve with corn on the cob and a crisp green salad. Provide lots of napkins.

Comments We got this recipe from Diane's dear friend Ruth, who has a lifetime of experience cooking' ribs. Thanks Ruth!

Ps - we intended to try this first on a hot June day on the outside BBQ, but the temperature suddenly dropped after the grocery shopping was complete, and now therre are 4" of fresh snow on the ground.....in June! so, we cooked inside. Still came out yummy.
