The Best Damn BBQ Ribs You’ll Ever Eat

 

I’m not gonna lie – EVERY person I have served these ribs to has asked for this recipe. For the longest time I wouldn’t give anyone the recipe – it was my little secret. People would ask, and I would tell them, “I’d tell ya, but then I’d have to kill ya.” and laugh it off. You see, this recipe was given to me by a very special person – my husband’s uncle. Uncle John worked for years trying different ingredients and testing the sauce and changing things, and trying new things, to come up with what he thought was just the perfect BBQ sauce recipe. Sadly, Uncle John is no longer with us, and we miss him terribly. But his awesome BBQ sauce recipe lives on in infamy!

There’s nothing at all difficult about this sauce. In fact, its base is a bottle of BBQ sauce, with plenty of other yummy ingredients added to it to make it awesome!

To begin, unwrap your ribs and cut them into serving-size pieces. I usually cut them into 4 pieces per rack of ribs.

Next, wrap them in foil.

And place on the grill. Low and slow is the name of the game here. We want them to cook through, but not burn on the outside. I usually cook them for about an hour over a low flame, flipping them a couple of times along the way.

Unwrap them, and here’s where the good part begins. Trust me, the whole campground will be jealous when they smell this!

For the sauce:

1 bottle of Kraft Honey BBQ Sauce

1/2 cup ketchup

1/3 cup Catalina Dressing

1 TBSP dried onion flakes

1/4 cup dark brown sugar

1/4 cup Kikoman soy sauce

A couple forks full of sweet relish

Put all the ingredients in a pot and let it simmer very gently on the stove for about 15 minutes.

Now brush this goodness on your ribs and close the grill cover and cook them a few minutes.

Now flip them and sauce the other side. Let them cook a few more minutes. Flip, sauce, cook. Flip, sauce, cook, until you feel perfection has been achieved. The brown sugar in the sauce caramelizes every so awesomely on the ribs, and finger-lickin’ sticky deliciousness happens.

Enjoy! Share them with friends and family, and be prepared to share the recipe too!!
