Oh So Good Rib Recipe. Check.

I've been searching for a great country style rib recipe for a long time. Let's just say this: I didn't start earnestly cooking until I was married - almost 11 years ago - and I have yet to make decent ribs. That's a lot of failed attempts.

One of my best friends (of cake designing fame) gave me her mother-in-law's recipe and my search is over. This is it. This is the one that makes it into my little book of recipes.


Here it is:

Brown 2 lbs ribs with some diced onions. Pour sauce (recipe below) over ribs and cook about 2 hours at 350. (I cooked mine at 275 for almost 3 hours and they were awesome. My oven generally cooks things fast so I lowered the heat considerably). I think any oven would dry them out at 350 for that long...



Sauce:

1 cup brown sugar

2 tsp dry mustard powder

1 tsp chili powder

Mix above together, then add below:

1 cup ketchup

1/4 cup vinegar

1 cup waters

2 tsp soy sauce
