I failed to take a picture last night. Busy busy and frankly just flat out forgot. My parents were coming over to see the girls for a couple of hours before they run off on vacation for the next month, so I needed to put something in the oven that required very little work. Something that could sit and bake in there for a while. Something that if it overcooked, would be a good/OK thing.
At the local grocery store over the weekend I had happened upon a package of pre-sliced pork ribs. 8 of them. I LOVE ribs. We know this from past posts. But the idea of keeping the oven on in this sweltering heat the past week has not been too appealing. But what if I could cook fewer ribs, already cut, for less time? Well then that would certainly work. Oh, and I grabbed a bottle of my favorite BBQ sauce, knowing that this week I wasn't going to have time or patience to make my own, though I do have a great recipe for one.
I like my ribs tender and to be pullable off the bone without too much effort, but I also prefer that they not literally fall off the bone. And this combination totally got them there.
So, into my 2.5qt CorningWare covered dish went my ribs to play.
Followed by 1/2 bottle of sauce, maybe a smidge less and.
Lid on and nto a 350 degree cold oven. Meaning, I had JUST turned it on and put the ribs in as it was warming.
Let them get all happy until about 6:30.
I believe I turned them at least once so both sides could get wet.
Served them up with peas and buttered egg noodles.
Both girls PLOWED through them.
Success. Will definitely be doing this again.
