Sparerib Casserole

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Bake: 55 min. YIELD: 6 servings.
This is an old Southern recipe my mother passed on to me many, many years ago. It's especially good for a Saturday night supper.

  • 4 to 5 pounds pork spareribs, cut into individual ribs
  • 2 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 5 tablespoons canola oil, divided
  • 6 cups cubed potatoes
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
  • 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika

  • 2. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20 minutes. Turn ribs; bake 20 minutes longer. Pat dry.
  • 3. Place potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until tender.
  • 4. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, saute onion and garlic in remaining oil until tender. Stir in the flour, parsley, and remaining salt and pepper until blended. Gradually stir in milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
