Oven Barbecued Ribs

"This recipe originally came from the Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. My mom and grandma have been making it since I can remember. Don't skip the onion on top, even if you don't like onion; it's a subtle addition that makes the meat really yummy."

  1. This recipe has been a family favorite for four decades. I substitute chicken stock or red wine for the suggested water .....1 1/2 cup for a deep flavor. The onion and lemon slices enhance the entire dish and you family will enjoy this so much! It is nice with flavor enhanced rice or mashed potatoes, It's worth your time! Enjoy!
     
  2. This is a delicious recipe given to me by my aunt many years ago, and turned out to be a family favourite, often requested by my husband and children as a birthday dinner. It is just as delicious (and much less expensive) made with pork butt (shoulder) chops, which was my usual version. The recipe given to me did not include chili powder. I have added 1/2 tsp garlic powder to mine, because...garlic!
     
  3. my mom also made this but it did not have chili powder- I still have the original cookbook and that was not in there- may have to try the chili powder. It is the best! Have tried it in the crock pot also but it is better in the oven.
     
  4. My mom made this recipe for us when we were kids in the 60's and 70's from the Better Home and Garden Meat Cook Book..published in 1960...as adults we recalled it and finally came across the book recently in my mom's boxes! It's as good as I remembered! Definitely make more sauce!
     
  5. My mother-in-law introduced my husband and I to this recipe. We really enjoy the flavor and the meat is so tender. We get two racks of ribs and have the butcher remove the membrane and slice the racks into individual ribs. We also spend a couple buck and get a disposable roasting pan. These things make it all easy-peasy. Lastly, we double the sauce and are liberal with the hot sauce and it still doesn't end up spicy hot, just flavorful.
