Ribs

Adobo BBQ Sauce

Potato Salad

Green Chili Mac & Cheese

Method

Ribs

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Rub salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder all over the ribs.

  2. 2

    Bake the Ribs

    Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Cover the ribs with another piece of foil and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, until tender.

  3. 3

    Apply BBQ Sauce

    Remove the ribs from the oven and brush the adobo BBQ sauce generously over the ribs. Increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C) and bake uncovered for an additional 30 minutes.

Adobo BBQ Sauce

  1. 4

    Make the BBQ Sauce

    In a medium saucepan, combine ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, adobo sauce, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook for 15 minutes until thickened.

Potato Salad

  1. 5

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a large pot, cover the potatoes with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool.

  2. 6

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the cooled potatoes, mayonnaise, mustard, celery, red onion, salt, black pepper, and chopped hard-boiled eggs. Mix well until combined.

Green Chili Mac & Cheese

  1. 7

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, cook the macaroni pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 8

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, green chilies, salt, and black pepper until the cheese is melted and smooth.

  3. 9

    Combine and Serve

    Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes on low heat, then serve warm.
