Oven Baked BBQ Ribs

This is one of my favorite meals and a hit with the entire family, including my picky kids! 

Oven Baked Ribs

Ingredients:

2 racks of baby back ribs or St. Louis Style ribs

1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce (I use Montgomery Inn)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 225.

Season ribs with your favorite rib rub (I use this fantastic Kansas City Rub), grill seasoning, or just salt and pepper.

Place ribs meat side down in baking dish (I buy a huge aluminum pans for this).

Cover dish with aluminum foil and place in oven.

If using small baby back ribs, take out of oven after 3.5 hours.  If using regular baby back or St. Louis style, take out after 4.

Drain off drippings. Flip meat over using two spatulas so the meat side is up. Put a layer of BBQ sauce on ribs, and return to oven for 20-30 minutes.

Great with baked beans and slaw!
