Ribs Ala Aaron

Aaron grilled a huge rack of ribs over the weekend.

Here’s the recipe!

  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 pounds baby back pork ribs
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce

 

Preheat a gas grill for high heat, or arrange charcoal briquettes on one side of the barbecue. Lightly oil the grate.

Combine cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

 

Trim fat from ribs, and sprinkle spices on both sides.

 

Lay the ribs on the top rack of the grill (away from the coals, if you’re using briquettes).  Reduce gas heat to low, close lid, and leave undisturbed for 1 hour. Do not lift the lid at all.

 

Brush ribs with barbecue sauce, and grill an additional 5 minutes. Serve ribs as whole rack, or cut between each rib bone and pile individually on a platter.

 

 

Delicious!  And my mashed potatoes weren’t bad either ;)

Terri’s a la Sloppy Joes!

Aaron’s mom texted me the other day with a really fun recipe that sounded so yummy… when Aaron got home from work, he wanted to make it himself.

Sloppy Joes inside Pillsbury Grands biscuits. Yum!  Here’s my mom-in-law’s instructions and pictures!

 

Step 1

Cook 1 pound of ground beef, and add sloppy joe sauce.  Add some onions and a little bit of BBQ sauce.

 

Step 2

While that cooks, press out some Pillsbury Grands biscuits …

 

Step 3

Then fill one side of the biscuits with the sloppy joe filling, and top with shredded cheddar cheese…

 

Step 4

Fold over and press edges…

 

Bake until golden brown…

 

It’s quick, easy, and YUMMY!
