Oven Cooked Barbecue Pork Ribs

Image
Country style pork ribs were on sale this week, so I bought some.  I didn't know what to make with them, so I looked up a recipe on the internet.  Finding random recipes doesn't always turn out well, but this one was awesome.  Pork is often tough when I cook it, but this was really tender and delicious.  The original recipe is from here , but I modified it a little bit since I had country style pork ribs instead of ribs with the bone in.  4 lbs country style pork ribs   3/4 cup light brown sugar 1 tablespoon paprika   1 tablespoon garlic powder   1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (optional)   1 tablespoon liquid smoke 2 cups of your favorite barbecue sauce (mine is Sweet Baby Ray) 1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees f. 2. Mix together sugar and spices to make a rub. 3. Lay ribs on two

Scalloped Potatoes (aka Funeral Potatoes)

I figure everyone knows how to make these, but they are a family favorite, so I thought I would share it. Ingredients: 8-9 potatoes 1/2 cup melted butter 2 cans cream of chicken soup 1 pint sour cream 1/3 cup green onions, chopped 1 cup crushed corn flakes 2 tablespoons melted butter Preparation Instructions: 1. Boil potatoes in jackets until tender when pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes.  When cool, peel potatoes and then slice or dice.  Put potatoes in a greased 9x13 pan. 2. Mix together 1/2 cup melted butter, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and green onions.  Poor mixture over potatoes.  Sprinkle corn flakes over top and top with 2 Tbs melted butter. 3. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.  Can be prepared and stored in the refrigerator for two or three days before being baked.
