Tasty Tuesday: Easy Baked Spareribs

I tried out another pork recipe last week and it was almost as tasty as the pork chops I shared about before.  The kids weren't too excited about them at first, but I told them ribs are supposed to be messy and they could eat them with their fingers and then they loved them! :)

Ingredients:

4 pound slab of pork spareribs
1 Tablespoon onion powder
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

For the Barbecue Sauce:
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 cup bottled barbecue sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
2 Tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Hot sauce to taste, optional

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees . Line a large roasting pan with heavy duty foil.  Sprinkle both sides of the spareribs liberally with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place seasoned ribs in the baking pan. Combine lemon juice, barbecue sauce, ketchup, balsamic vinegar, and hot sauce in a bowl. Stir vigorously until combined. (Makes about 3 cups of barbecue sauce.) Pour half of sauce into a separate container and set aside. Drizzle remaining sauce over the top of the ribs, covering all exposed areas. Cover pan with lid or foil. Bake 1-1/2 to 2 hours, until tender. Serve spareribs with reserved barbecue sauce. Optional: You can char the ribs on the grill or under the broiler before serving if you wish.

Enjoy!
