BBQ Ribs



A few months back my husband wanted ribs for his birthday and since we are on a very tight budget going to our favorite rib place was out of the question. Last time we went we spent over $100. So I made them for the first time and they were a sensational hit with the family and not to mention our budget. We probably spend $30 tops if not less on all the food that you see here. This meal is perfect for Sundays. While we are at church the ribs can cook and when we come back they are ready for the grill.
Ingredients: 
  • Beef Ribs cleaned and fat trimmed
  • 6 cups of  Water
  • 1-1/2 Bottle of your favorite BBQ Sauce
  • 1 package of Green Beans
  • 1 Box Mac & Cheese
  • 1 French Bread
  • 1/4 White onion Thinly sliced
  • Butter
  • 6 Red Potatoes
  • 1 tbsp Rosemary
  • Famous Dave's Dry Rib Rub
  • Salt and Pepper to taste


Directions:
  1. Place clean ribs on a 1 inch deep oven safe dish. Add dry rub to both sides of the ribs. Then add 3 cups of water to the dish. And cover it with aluminum foil.
  2. Place ribs in a 200 degree oven for 2 to 2.5 hours. 
  3. Once time is up take them out and add your favorite BBQ sauce.
  4. Heat up the Grill on low heat. Add the ribs to the grill and cook them for 30 minutes. Make sure you keep an eye on them since they can easily burn. Flip them once about half way through the cooking time. If they are becoming too dry, you can add more BBQ sauce.
  5. Once time is up, let them rest for about 5 minutes before you dig in. 
  6. Potatoes- cut them in medium cubes. Add 2 tbsp of butter salt, pepper and rosemary. They take about 20 minutes to cook on medium heat. 
  7. Mac & Cheese- just cook them as directed on package
  8. Green Beans- Add two tbsp of butter to pan and the onion. Once the onions are translucent then add the frozen green beans, salt and pepper to taste. They probably take about 8 minutes to cook if not less.
