Pork Ribs That Taste Like They Were Barbecued
There are so many fabulous rib recipes right here on HubPages, and everyone has their own way of making pork ribs. I remember my Dad used to take great pride in his ribs and always insisted that they must first be boiled. For many years I would boil them until one day I was a little short on time and decided to skip the boiling process. I found that they tasted great, the meat fell off the bones just as if I'd boiled them, and that is when I stopped using Dad's technique.
My family loves ribs, and we eat them all year round. In the colder winter months it is hard to stand outside by the BBQ, so I cook my ribs in the oven. We find that they taste just the same as if they were cooked outside.

How To Prepare The Ribs
Making A Rub
- 1 TBSP Garlic Powder
- 1/4 TSP Freshly Ground Pepper
- 1/4 TSP Slap Ya Mama Cajun Spice
Mix these 3 ingredients together in a bowl and rub onto the ribs.

Into The Oven They Go
Preheat oven to 280°F - 300°F
Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil and lay the ribs fat side up and add about 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of the pan. Cover with foil and bake for one hour. Remove ribs and turn them over. Continue cooking for another hour and a half to two hours.
Remove ribs, place oven rack on second from the top, and preheat broiler. While waiting for your broiler to heat up prepare your ribs.
Place the ribs on a broiler pan and brush with your favorite BBQ sauce. Broil for about 8 - 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, and turn the ribs over. Brush with BBQ sauce and broil for 8 - 10 minutes or until they look done to you.

Yummy, Susan. Thanks for sharing this recipe which seems to be finger-lickin' good. Like Wayne, I was tempted to take a bite out of the photo.
Great hub, I just so happen to be smoking ribs today. I love cooking ribs and usually I smoke them all day while watching football. In the interest of time, I've also cooked them in the oven before with great results. Your recipe is right on and will taste great.
I would love to taste pork ribs seasoned your way! They look so tasty! But I wonder what "Slap Your Mama Cajun spice" consists of? I can not imagine that I will ever found it here... Can I do something similar myself or must I continue to watch this photo drooling:)
Great recipe Susan,
Tina
Sounds great! I'm going to print this one!
Wayne, Slap Ya Mama is a such a great spice. I love all their products. Thanks for everything!
drbj, Thank you.
cooldad, Smoked ribs, would you like to trade?
Tina, It's basically a Cajun Spice. You can use any type of spice that you like.
Bill, Thanks, hope you enjoy the ribs.
I bookmarked this and hope my gout medication will "cover" me. If I end up crawling around the house in pain, I figure it will be worth it. Voted up and everything else.
This looks so good...wish I had some right now!
Great recipe. I prefer cooking ribs in the oven, particularly in winter.
Arlene, Hope that your gout gets better and thank you.
RH, Thanks
rjsadowski, My Dad always insisted on boiling them before bbqing or doing them in the oven. Skipping the boiling part saves so much time and they taste better to me. Thank you.
Sure! They aren't as tempting at 9am:) lol
RH, True Dat! :)
I've never heard of slap ya mamma cajun spice. I'll have to check that out : )
Jennifer, It's a great spice. I have a hub all about Slap Ya Mama. There are various different spices that they sell. I was first introduced to it by my father in law in Florida a few years back and it's always in my spice cabinet now.
u know funny before I got onto this Hub I ordered that slap yo momma seasoning on-line.. why did I say funny.. I meant coincidently.. clear that funny for me Susan... anyhow thanks again for getting my cook-book fatter with great stuff! Man-Food!!!!!! :)
Slap Ya Mama is a funny name for a seasoning or for anything type of food product for that matter. But I understood how you meant what you said. Thanks Frank...get cooking!
Great recipe. I love ribs. Thanks
alekhouse, Thank you.
I love pork in every which way, and this recipe sounds simple and delicious.
Wow, I have got to try me some of that 'Slap your Mama' seasoning, that photo has got me drooling...
The Saddle loves his pork ribs, I know where to come when I'm ready to make my next batch. I have bookmarked this hub for future reference. Love the name " Slap your Mama" heck if I did that she would have given me such a smack I would have flipped over backwards. LoL....cute name though...
Senoritaa, It is very easy to make. Thanks for stopping by.
MM, I use Slap Ya Mama in many things. Love the spices and hot sauces they sell.
saddlerider, It is a catchy name isn't it :) Thanks and I hope you enjoy the ribs as much as we do.
When i first read this i thought you were kidding, then i saw the can of 'slap ya mama spice' This sounds so good, and i will really do this..I love ribs..Where do you buy the spice? I always thought you put the fat side of meat down, you say up..I learn so much from you. Thank you Susan...
Ruby, If your local stores do not carry this spice you can request it to be brought in or you can check at this site to see where you can buy it in your state http://www.slapyamama.com/locator.php or at amazon.
Fat side up :) When cooking a pork roast fat side up and score the fat.
@susan: Sure thing, I will do a hub one day, in the meantime, I will send you an email. I don't really use any set recipes though. I've actually become of big fan of ribs in the oven; so much easier, faster and tastes just as good.
cooldad, Please do let me know how you make your ribs as I will be making them again this week. Thanks.
Susan: Thank you this is a great recipe. I love ribs, but I must say, I find it difficult to part with my hard earned money for a taste of heaven, knowing that the most of my money is in the bones which will end up in the garbage.
As a pensioner, I can ill afford to be spending my pension money on bones that will end up in the garbage. It's to bad that we haven't discovered a way to use the bones too in some sort of tasty recipe.
mouth is watering as I write this...
Thanks Susan!
Chris
Dave, There is a huge bone wastage when it comes to ribs. I only buy them when there is a good sale, and stock my freezer up with them. With the cost of meat rising I may have to become a vegetarian.
Chris, Thanks :)
Your photo is making me drool...I will be right back. I need to thaw out some ribs! Thanks for sharing your recipe. Like your dad, I was use to boiling them till my brother showed me his method. Since then, I have been working on tweeking them to my family's taste. What style of rib do you use?
Thanks again! Voted up!
tlpogue, I use either pork side or back ribs, it all depends on what is on sale :) Thank you and I hope you enjoy your ribs.
Susan: Thanks for the idea of stocking ribs while on sale. I'll do just that.
