If you're really hungry, there's nothing like a rack of these ribs! They're a great summertime treat, but our family also traditionally enjoys them with side dishes of coleslaw and beans during the football games on New Year's Day.

3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3-1/2 to 4-1/2 pounds pork spareribs (2 racks)

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Combine garlic powder, salt and pepper; rub onto both sides of ribs. Place in a single layer in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan.
Bake at 325° for 30-35 minutes; drain. Combine sauce ingredients; pour over ribs. Bake 50-60 minutes longer or until meat is tender, basting occasionally. Cut into serving-size pieces.

The sauce really did need more flavor. I tried to add flavor with brown sugar, honey and a touch of cayenne, but still just didn't seem to be enough. We also grilled it since the weather was so nice. Maybe if the rub had more spice it might have worked. Not bad, but not great.

The ribs were delicious, but the sauce was lacking, didn't even taste like barbecue sauce. I bought two slabs of ribs, but only cooked one, as i found when i got home that each slab was 5lbs each and still there was half the sauce left. I frankly couldn't have put it all on or it would have run over the pan. Next time i will cook using these instructions, but using a different sauce.

I halved the recipe to feed my boyfriend and I. I didn't have to drain the pan, which I thought was odd. It was easy and perfect for us college kids, who like an occasional nice meal.

After reading the review above I halved the amount of water and it was almost perfect. Personally, I prefer a thicker sauce so maybe next time I will cut back again. The sauce had great flavor and I will definitively add it to my recipe box to make again!

Awesome & easy! Lurky - maybe you missed the direction to drain the pan before you put the BBQ sauce on.......

I followed this recipe with precision, and I was disappointed when the ribs were done baking. The sauce tasted good, but was very watery and therefore it was difficult to maneuver the pan out of the oven.
