"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

I have never made ribs in my life. I was nervous about trying this recipe but it was a great success. My family of 5 said this was the best meal I have ever made and want it every night! Even my 6 year old agreed....

Good ribs, but the rub had too much chili powder for my liking. Also, I'm not a big fan of the celery seed in the sauce. They were very tender though.

Tried this and it was mouth watering. Meat was tender and fell of the bones. Not even going to share these with anyone this time. Have enough for our dinner tomorrow.

Our son made them for July 4th...he cut them individually..great idea. he also used the jar of minced garlic, so easy. he drained the baked ribs and put them in the fridge awhile before doing the rub. It worked. The guests "stampeded" back for more! Bravo bravo to a fabulous dining experience!

I tried this recipe out when visiting my mom and she insisted that I leave her the recipe for the bbq sauce. I did add a 1/4 cup of honey to the sauce also.

These ribs never fail. If I'm running low on time I skip the sauce and use store bought. Always a hit, moist and delicious!

Unless I am missing something here, two out of the three reviews said they didn't know what to use for the rub? If you go back and read the recipe, the "ingredients" are the seasonings you use. :)

No ingredients for rub listed, so can't make the first time. Would love to try them.
