Radically Easy Ribs

My guys really look forward to this "man dish" and I love it because there is almost no work! Yes, the ingredients really are this simple and flexible and you don't need to pre-boil the ribs. WARNING: This is definitely NOT a low-fat recipe. You can pre-boil the ribs to remove some fat and skim the sauce before serving, but it really doesn't reduce it by much.





List of Ingredients



• Rack of ribs (I prefer pork), any amount you want to serve
  
• Barbecue sauce (your favourite) - about 2 cups for every pound
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the ribs apart along the bone to make serving size pieces.
   
2. Line a baking dish with aluminum foil (makes cleanup easier). Pour some barbecue sauce on the bottom and spread out to make a thin layer.
   
3. Place the ribs in the pan in a single layer. Pour barbecue sauce all over to cover rib surfaces thoroughly. If you have more ribs, you can make a second layer and pour over more barbecue sauce. (Note: The level of sauce in the pan is not important - making sure the meat is coated is!)
   
4. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and SEAL TIGHTLY! This is the secret to fork-tender meat. Place in oven and bake for 1 hour. The time is estimated - check after about 45 minutes to make sure the sauce is not burning. Cook longer if necessary, but check every 15 minutes.
   
5. Ribs are done when meat is pulling away from the bones and can be shredded with a fork.
   






Final Comments


Make sure you provide lots of napkins and fingerbowls of water! I usually serve this with rice to sop up the sauce. The guys don't feel the meal is complete unless they have corn on the cob too!
