Saturday's Dinner

Baby Back Ribs with St. Louis BBQ Sauce, Piedmont Slaw and Baked Beans

Pretty easy to make this one, then take a break and work up a hunger with some sort of whiskey based drinks, and pull it out of the oven to eat after a couple of hours.


Ribs - Grill or broil baby back ribs until browned on both sides.  I cut them into four rib sections before doing this, as it makes it easier to fit them in a baking dish.  For the sauce, combine a cup of ketchup, 1/3 of a cup of worcestershire sauce and apple cider vinegar, 1/4 cup of maple syrup and brown sugar, and then around a teaspoon each of salt, celery seed, paprika, dijon mustard, chili powder and hot sauce (I use Crystal).  Add a little water to it if it's a little thick.  Pour this over the browned ribs in a baking dish, cover with foil and cook at 350 for an hour a half before uncovering and cooking for another 20 to 30 minutes.

Slaw - finely shred a head of cabbage and add to it a cup or less of ketchup, a quarter cup or less of cider vinegar, some hot sauce (again, I use Crystal, best 59 cents you'll spend at the store), a little sugar, and salt and pepper and then put it in the fridge for a while before eating.

Beans - for two, use a small can of pork and beans, add some chopped and uncooked bacon, quarter of a chopped onion, half cup or so of ketchup, a chopped jalapeno, some mustard, a teaspoon or so of ground ginger and a quarter cup or so of brown sugar.  Mix it all together in a casserole dish and put it in the oven for an hour and a half.  

Enjoy.
