One thing I love is BBQ Ribs, any style, any type meat. I want to share a recipe with you for the Country Style Ribs I developed.

| Seasoned country pork ribs |
Step 1: Season your raw product well. I use salt, pepper, garlic powder and my own blend of BBQ rub. You can use any premixed BBQ seasoning currently available in the spice isle, but I prefer my own.
Season both sides and give it a little rub to get it in the meat. Place in a pan with sides touching.

| Topped and ready to go |
Step 2: Add thinly sliced onion to the top of the meat. (See above photo) On top of the onion, layer canned tomatoes. I usually use Rotel Diced Tomatoes w/ Green Chilies, but I did not have any today. I had a can of stewed tomatoes in the cubbard, so that is what I used. To off-set the sweetness of the stewed tomatoes, I added some sliced jalapeno peppers for some zing. Add salt, pepper and powdered garlic to the top. Give it a drink of beer to help steam in some yumm~e tenderness. If beer offends you, just add plain water to the bottom of the pan
Step 3: Cover with plastic wrap, then foil and cook on 350F for 2 hours. After cooking, remove from oven and carefully remove the wrap and foil. (Steam will escape, so be careful to avoid getting burned.) Remove the toppings and set aside for later. It makes and excellent side dish. Add your favorite BBQ sauce to the top of the meat and put back in the oven for 1/2 hour. I usually like to finish them off at this point on the grill, but did not have one available today.

| Yumm~e ness! |
Step 4: After 1/2 hour, turn on your broiler and let the sauce caramelize on top of the meat. This will only take a few minutes, so don't walk away.

I hope everyone enjoys this recipe. Don't forget to throw a side of cole slaw in there also. Or some corn on the cob! Potato salad. Macaroni salad. Baked beans. The options are endless. And Yumm~e!
