Cooking Steps

1

BBQ Baby Back Ribs Adjust racks to middle and top positions 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. Keep covered until ready to serve.

2

Bagel Dogs and Chicken Empanadas Keep refrigerated until ready to eat; best if used within 10 days. RECOMMENDED: Line a second sheet with parchment paper. Remove plastic and place bagel dogs on one side of prepared sheet; bake on top rack for 4 minutes (you’ll add more to the sheet then). Remove from oven and carefully add empanadas to empty side. Return to oven and bake until golden brown, 6-8 minutes more. (Note: Oven times may vary.) MICROWAVE ALTERNATIVE (bagel dogs only): Microwave bagel dogs on a microwave-safe plate until cooked through, 30 seconds (for 4 bagel dogs) and 75 seconds (for 12 bagel dogs). Do not overheat.

Review summary

Updated on Dec 2025
  • Flavor: Ribs were a hit, though some found the sauce too sweet. Empanadas and bagel dogs received mixed reviews on taste.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and simple to prepare, making it ideal for game day gatherings or casual parties 🎉.
  • Suggestions: Consider reducing the amount of BBQ sauce on ribs. Add extra seasoning to empanadas for more flavor.
  • Portions: Great for small gatherings, but adding a vegetable side dish could balance out the meat-heavy meal.

Easy to fix. Ribs had a bit too much sauce; but they were tender. Bagel dogs were okay.

Mini dogs were rubbery and prep instructions or box for empanadas was incorrect. Have tried ribs yet.
