Baby Back Ribs Recipe

Prepare the Ribs

Preheat your smoker or grill to 225°F (107°C).

Season the Ribs

In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture generously over the ribs.

Smoke the Ribs

Place the ribs in the smoker or on the grill. Smoke for about 4-5 hours, or until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone easily.

Glaze with BBQ Sauce

During the last 30 minutes of smoking, brush the ribs with BBQ sauce. Allow it to caramelize before removing from heat.

Cook the Potatoes

Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and cool.

Prepare the Eggs

Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs, setting aside a couple of egg yolks for garnish.

Mix the Salad

In a large bowl, combine cooled potatoes, chopped eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, sweet pickle relish, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Garnish and Serve

Chop the reserved egg yolks and sprinkle over the top along with chopped green onions. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Prepare the Beans

In a saucepan, combine canned baked beans, brown sugar, BBQ sauce, mustard, and finely chopped onion.

Cook the Beans

Simmer the mixture over low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors meld.
