"Sweet Baby" Country Style Ribs

When I go to a restaurant and look at a menu, one of the first things I always look at is how much Ribs cost. I do this with anticipation that somehow, someway, they overlooked this incredibly delicious food item and simply marked it under $10 for no reason other than to make people like me happy. Trisha and I are the type of people who doesn't want to pay a fortune for something that although worth it, still really is just a meal. With three kiddos, we choose to be economical when it comes to food because we know we can get good deals through coupons and sales that we can spend the money saved from being food savvy on things enjoyed for more duration, as a family. I love ribs and if your like us and don't want to spend as much as restaurants charge, you get to make your own at a fraction of the price, if your patient. Usually once or twice a year grocery stores will have family value packs of de-boned country style ribs on sale at a really cheap price, sometimes as low as $1.29/lb. When we buy these family packs Trisha usually cuts them into thirds, 2-3lbs each, that will feed generally 4-6 people for about the same price you would pay for one Rib dinner in most restaurants. To me, that sounds extremely economical! 

This recipe is one that, similar to our other posts, is pretty simple in that not many ingredients are involved to get your own perfectly cooked Country Style ribs. Essentially, this way of cooking ribs with no bone is to bake it for three hours to the point of tenderness where every bite just melts in your mouth and the flavors are so embedded in the meat that its almost like it was in a smoker for half a day. If you want a change up from eating ribs on-bone, where you need the wet-naps and a bowl to collect the bones and all of that, or you want eating ribs to be cleaner, say when your feeding children, try this recipe you can enjoy anytime of the year.
