Falling off the Bone Barbecue Ribs...


This week I am sharing a great recipe that is perfect for 
any special holiday, occasion or any day of the week...

Barbecue Ribs
The secret to them is I cook them all day in the crock pot and THEN put them on the grill.
You can even make these the day before if you're having company and put
them on the grill right when your guests arrive.

Falling Off the Bone Barbecue Ribs...




This is a very simple recipe to follow with a few ingredients
and YES you can do most of the work the day before your company arrives.

The Ribs:  

I purchased St. Louis Style ribs, but have also used Baby Back Ribs.
Both are great TENDER cuts of meat.

The Rub:

I use plain old fashioned Season Salt.
You can use whatever your favorite rub is for meat.

The Secret Ingredient:

Soda
Yes, soda, but do NOT use diet.
I've used Coca Cola, Sprite and Ginger Ale; usually whatever I have in the house.
This day I used Ginger Ale...


Let's begin.
Sprinkle the ribs with the Season Salt and place in your crock pot.
Add the soda, enough to cover half way...


Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
Remove from the crock pot and place in a baking dish.
Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Or you can get them ready for the grill now...


Cover the ribs with barbecue sauce...


I used homemade barbecue sauce.
You can find the recipe HERE...


Now, place your ribs on the grill.

Sorry, no close up of the ribs.  
Not even sure they're in this picture...but this is a picture of the Colonel
barbecuing on Mother's Day...


You'll want to keep them on the grill until they look BEAUTIFUL.
You don't need to cook them too long because they're already cooked.
Remove from the grill and cut each rib into an individual serving...



They really are delicious and so EASY.
The meat really does fall off the bone by cooking them this way.
I love making them the day before when I'm serving them for guests.
Keeps the kitchen pretty clean and less stress on the cook...ME!

I am going to have to try your secret ingredient when making ribs... I usually boil mine before I grill them I wonder if I put soda in the pot when I grill them ~ if that will work.. Will try next time I make ribs..

I need to remind myself to not visit here while I am so hungry, Lois, (I haven't had lunch yet) ribs are one of our favorite meats, and yours look wonderful! and now I see all those links to visit. I will try and get back later. Am I seeing a cook book in the future, maybe you should consider, your recipes are so wonderful? Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,
