My STEELErs won.
Funny, right? I am trying to work on my humor.
At the beginning of the Superbowl game today, Paul asked me who I was rooting for.
Isnt' it obvious?
(for 20 years, 8 months, 2 weeks, and 1 day I was known as Kristen Steele)
Truth be told, we hadn't watched a single football game in our home this season until today.
Now, onto the food portion. I wanted lots of it:
ribs
shrimp
wings
jalepeno poppers
spinach artichoke dip
veggies and dip
the works!
We were eating alone. Ellie was sick and Dallin is picky.
I didn't want to spend all day cooking a feast for 2.
In comes the "small portions" freezer section at the grocer.
Everything except the ribs.
(I accidently threw the recipe that I used away. A quick google search led me to this recipe. I have changed it up a bit, trying to remember what I did. This is SUPER easy.)Spicy Western-Style Danish Baby Back Ribs
2 whole slabs danish baby back ribs
1 cup water
1/3 cup butter
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup dry mustard
1/4 cup chili powder
1/2-1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Place ribs on shallow baking pans; cover with foil and bake for 1 1/2 hours.
Meanwhile combine water, butter, lemon juice, dry mustard, chili powder, brown sugar, paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder and cayenne in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
Remove ribs from the oven and slather the bottom of the ribs with sauce, broil 5-7 inches away from heating element for about 5 minutes (I had mine on low, got impatient, turned it on high, smelled it burning, turned it back to low). Turn over and cover top of ribs with sauce and repeat broiling. Serve ribs with additional sauce of desired.
This recipe would cover 3 or 4 small slabs.
**I thought that the sauce tasted funny in the pan, but the finished product turned out quite tasty.
