Kansas City Barbecued Ribs

We had a great weekend, cooked alot of good food and had alot of fun.  This was by far the best meal of the holiday weekend, top it off with a marshmellow roast and how could you go wrong??

We had Ribs, served with Jessica's Ranch Beans, grilled corn & cabbage cooked on the grill.
All recipes are listed.




Barbecued Ribs
2 - 5lb racks of pork spare ribs
1/4 cup paprika
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 tbsp chili powder
4 tbsp pepper
4 tsp garlic powder
4 tsp onion powder
2 tbsp + 2 tsp salt
Your favorite BBQ sauce ( I used Sweet Baby Ray's Original)

Mix all dry ingredients together to make rub. 
Rub ribs on both sides with mixture making sure to cover entire area, then place on large cookie sheet covered with heavy duty foil.  Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
Cook ribs in oven, heated to 325* for 2 to 2-1/2 hours on cookies sheets.
After 2 hours start basting with BBQ sauce.
If desired place on grill to finish and let "crust" build.

Cabbage Cooked on the Grill
1/2 head of cabbage, cut in two
2 slices good bacon, cut in half
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Place cabbage on sheet of heavy duty foil, sprinkle lightly with olive oil and S&P to taste. Place bacon slices over cabbage.  Wrap in foil and place on grill.  Cook until desired doneness, about 10 minutes.

Grilled Corn on the Cob
Good Sweet Corn, husks removed and washed
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper

Lightly cover corn with olive oil and sprinkle with S&P to taste.  Grill 5 minutes turning constantly to get an even "char".  (I let the corn sit on top rack while cabbage cooked to stay warm).

Marshmallow Roast!!!

This is the first time the kids have roasted marshmallows, and they had such a good time.

Yum ... Smores .........
