Football season is probably the biggest battle any wife/fiancé/girlfriend will ever fight. Let me tell you a secret, ladies, it's not worth the fight. Unless you are just super controlling and want your man to be miserable, you are stuck with the "pig skin fever" for at least four months of every year. During the fall/winter, the weekends belong to the testosterone, beer, and HD tv's. Tuesday isn't a bad "date night", after all. :) One of Jeremy's favorite "game time" meals is BBQ ribs. Maw Maw has taught me a quick and easy way to whip up some tender, delicious BBQ ribs without spending hours in the kitchen or standing over a grill, and I am going to share this recipe with you. :)
SUPER SIMPLE BBQ RIBS
1 rack baby back pork ribs (I look for very meaty ribs with very little fat)
1 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce (we LOVE bulls eye)
- Cut the ribs into two's and place them in a large pot. (we generally start the coals on the grill about this time too. if you're using a gas grill, i guess you could start it up a little later. :) )
- Cover the ribs with water and bring them to a boil.
- Boil the ribs for about 20 minutes.
- Take the ribs out of the water and cover them in the BBQ sauce.
- Place the ribs directly over the coals and grill them for about 15-20 min on each side brushing them once or twice with the BBQ sauce. (you want the coals to be gray/white before you put the ribs on.)
