Easy Baked Baby Back Ribs

6

Whenever we are in the mood for that barbeque flavor rib dish, I turn to this simple recipe. It absolutely delivers on taste, flavor and tenderness of meat thanks to the slow cook process in the oven.

The recipe is one of the simplest dinners I’ve ever made. The hardest part is removing that silver skin on the back of each rag. And once you get the hang of it, it’s beyond easy. The seasonings are commonly found in most pantries as are the sauce ingredients. Don’t forget to taste the sauce and adjust any ingredients (if necessary). Also, when draining the liquids from the pan, I would remove the racks and transfer them to a cutting board and then pour out the liquids.

Serve these with a quick chopped salad like my Italian Chopped Salad or my Authentic Greek Salad or my Cucumber Avocado Salad or my Maroulosalata (Greek Lettuce Salad).
