Here’s one of our favorite ways to make pork ribs that are simply marvalous. The secrets are slow cooking, and Grill Mates Mesquite Seasoning from McCormick. You should plan on cooking these slowly for 3 hours. Make sure to keep water in the cookie sheet so that the ribs stay moist. And for safety, take the ribs off the rack but leave the cookie sheet in the oven to cool before removing so you don’t get burnt by the hot water.

Mesquite Seasoned Pork Ribs

• 3 slabs of ribs
• 1/4 cup McCormick Mesquite Seasoning
• Water
• Canola Oil

1. Preheat oven to 275° F.
2. Mix 1/4 cup McCormick Mesquite seasoning with an equal amount of water and 2 tbsp
   canola oil. Mix enough to make a seasoning paste that can be rubbed on the ribs.
3. Spread the seasoning mixture over the ribs and coat all sides. Mix more mesquite seasoning if needed.
4. Place seasoned ribs on wire rack on a cookie sheet [we use a large professional chef’s baking sheet].
5. Place the pan on an oven rack, add water to cookie sheet, and then cover loosely with aluminum foil.
6. Cook slowly for several hours, check every so often that there is still water in the cookie sheet.
7. Remove foil for the last 30-45 minutes to allow ribs to brown.
8. Remove ribs from pan, and allow water to cool before removing the pan from the oven.

Serve with coleslaw, and a baked potato.
