Here’s a question that was asked by user MW:

“Do you have a good recipie for ribs that doesn’t take all day?”

Yar, of course me matey! Here be me favorite recipe…

Prep work:

Preheat oven to 350 Degrees. Prepare dry rub.

Dry Rub:

Lots o’ Brown Sugar

Spices to taste:

Black Pepper

Cayenne Pepper

Bacon Salt

Onion Powder (or finely diced onions)

Garlic Powder (or finely diced garlic)

Rinse ribs in cold water and pat dry. Apply dry rub; really mash it in

there. I like to apply two coatings.

Fill a 3″ deep pan with about 1/4″ of water (depending on how many ribs

you want to make, you may need a few pans. Each rack of ribs will

usually fit in a 13″ x 9″ pan). Place a layer of tinfoil over the water,

but leave space for steam to escape. Place ribs on said foil then cover

the whole thing with tightly with tinfoil.

Bake for 1:30 – 1:45 ribs will be done when you can easily insert a

tooth pick into the meat and the meat has started to recede from the bone.

Apply your favorite BBQ sauce and finish on the grill for 15-20 minutes,

turning every few minutes.

Even the crustiest scalawag will enjoy this tasty grub.
