Baby Back Ribs

I got this recipe from Linda Alder.  She served them with cheesy potatoes, corn on the cob and a tossed salad.  A great summer meal.

Baby back rib – 3 pack from Costco

Lawry season salt

Garlic salt or garlic pepper

Pepper

Favorite barbecue sauce

Heat grill on high.  Remove ribs from packaging.  Season generously with season salt, garlic salt or garlic pepper and pepper.  Sear on the grill on both sides until nicely browned.  Put foil on a baking tray and place the ribs on the foil.  Three fit on a large baking tray.  Cover tightly with foil.  Bake at 300º for 3 – 4 hours until the meat is tender.  Slice between the bones and serve with your favorite barbecue sauce. 

I actually enjoy these without sauce because they are so flavorful just as they are.  I recently discovered using the garlic pepper on them and it increases the flavor, but if you do, skip the pepper. When slicing, lay them curved side up to slice them and it will be a cleaner cut.  You can also sear them, bake them and put them in the freezer.  To freeze, cut the rack in half and place each in a Ziploc bag. Leftover ribs that are already cut can be placed in a bag and frozen as well.  These also work great in curry sauce.
