Best Ribs Ever

Best ribs ever.  That’s bold, I know.  But I mean, these really are the best ribs.  I honestly don’t even really like ribs, and these ribs are to die for.  Look here – no meat on the bones – it just falls off!!

You can make these too, and you will definitely be getting requests for the recipe!

All you need is baby back ribs, some rub seasoning (whatever kind you like), 1 cup of liquid smoke (usually two bottles), and water.

Score the back of the ribs.

Season the rib with a 1/8 cup of seasoning on each side.  It might get a little messy.

In a shallow pan mix 1/2 cup of liquid smoke and 2 1/2 cups of water.

Place the rib into a shallow pan with a drain grate inside.  The grate will keep the rib from sitting in the liquid smoke.   Wrap the top of the pan with about three layers of aluminum foil. Make sure you wrap it tightly because you are basically steaming the ribs.  Cook at 275 degrees for 5 hours.

Now you can cool the ribs for future use, or you can throw them on the grill.  I like the cut them into smaller, more manageable pieces for grillings.

Sauce them on one side and throw them on the grill.

Grill for about 5 minutes, then sauce the other side and flip them over.  Grill the other side for about 5 minutes.  You might lose a few bones through the grill grates – they are that tender!

Now you’re ready to serve!
