There’s something about messy food that just tastes better. Case in point: these ribs! Baby back ribs are blanketed in tangy BBQ sauce, then tucked into the oven until juicy and caramelized. That’s all there is to it! Serve with napkins (or lick your fingers–we won’t judge!) and enjoy the one meal where manners don’t matter. *Nutrition values are representative of a 1/2 bundle serving.*

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

1

Adjust racks to middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place ribs on prepared sheet; spread tops with any remaining sauce from package. Sprinkle with 2 TBSP water to maintain moisture. Tightly cover with foil. Bake on middle rack until ribs are warmed through and sauce is lightly caramelized around the edges, 40-45 minutes.

2

Recipe suggestion: Prefer Carolina-style BBQ? Rub ribs all over with 2 TBSP yellow or Dijon mustard and replace water with a drizzle of cider vinegar. Love a dry rub? Combine equal parts brown sugar, paprika, and garlic powder. Let BBQ sauce drip off ribs before placing on sheet, then rub all over with seasoning mixture; season with salt and pepper.

My husband loved them. Personally, I would have preferred a bit more zing in the BBQ sauce. But otherwise was great and the preparation was so easy!

I substituted the sauce recipe for Carolina Sauce and my husband didn't care for it. Should have stuck with the plain BBQ sauce that went with the ribs. The ribs were very tender, though.

I'm having this tonight. It falls off the bone. I love. Wish I could have ordered a larger amount. Otherwise it's convenient and delicious.

Ribs were very good. Sauce was really ketchuppy. Wiped it all off and used own BBQ sauce and was much better
