"More, please!" is what I hear when I serve these zippy, finger-licking ribs to family or guests. The first time my husband and I tried them, we pronounced them "the best ever." The recipe has its roots in the Calgary Stampede, an annual Western and agricultural fair and exhibition in our province. -Marian Misik, Sherwood Park, Alberta

Amazing taste. Use the grill the first time... going to try the slow cooker next time. Can't wait!

I made these accordingly BUT instead of grilling put them in the slow cooker for 6 hours on low. My fiance nearly ate the whole rack of ribs! They were fall off the bone and he said it was the best ribs he ever had in his life :)

Excellent ribs, we've been using this recipe for years. The only change I made was to add A LOT more garlic b/c we love it! Place the ribs meat side down on a parchment lined cookie sheet so they don't stick. Any excess rub is kept in the fridge and used on pork chops, chicken and more ribs, of course!

I have made these twice and have gotten tons of praise from my guests. I never seem to make enough of them! Many people have told me that these are the best ribs they have ever tasted.

I made these for fourth of July and they were a huge hit with my grandmother, who is a wonderful cook herself. I will be keeping this recipe on hand for sure!

Very, very good! Next time I will rub only a portion of the seasonings over the ribs and keep the excess in a jar for the next time--and there will be a next time!
