Baby Back Ribs

We made this recipe for Christmas 2020. The below ingredients covered 2 whole racks. The $32 Sams Club pack had 3 full racks in it. I prepared the rub and wrapped the ribs the night before.

Prep: 20   Cook: 120   Total: 140   Servings: 6

Ingredients

• ¼ cup white sugar
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup salt
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
• 1 rack baby back pork ribs
• 1 cup barbeque sauce
• Other options can be ancho chili powder, chipotle powder, onion powder, garlic powder, etc.

Directions

1. Poke holes in the membrane on the back – you don’t need to remove it.
2. Put the rub on both sides.
3. Place the ribs on foil meat side down on a baking pan and wrap tightly.
4. Cook the for 2 hours at 250 degrees.
5. Remove the ribs and pour off the fat. Brush both side with BBQ sauce and return to the oven uncovered at 350 degrees.
6. After 5 to 10 minutes, remove from the oven and coat the meat side with BBQ sauce.
7. Repeat this about 5 times – at that point, the meat should not quite fall off the bone.
