DIY Frozen Food: Fall-Off-the-Bone BBQ Ribs


Now this is something that any non-cook should be able to do with the least amount of personal stress and effort as making guaranteed-delicious-and-tender bbq baby back ribs will allow. 

I find that I truly enjoy the convenience of frozen food. I especially like barbeque baby back ribs, and so I do find my refrigerator stocked with store-bought ready-to-cook baby back ribs most of the time, until I (somehow) learned to make it myself!

INGREDIENTS:
Rack of pork side/baby back ribs
Garlic (roughly chopped)
Ginger (roughly chopped)
Onion (roughly chopped)
Salt
Pepper
Bbq/honey garlic Sauce (your choice of sauce like Heinz or Kraft)


STEPS:
1. Lay chopped garlic, ginger and onion on a sheet of aluminum foil big enough to wrap around your pork rack and set aside.
2. Rub your pork rack with salt and pepper all over.
3. Lay the seasoned pork over your chopped spices and wrap in the foil tightly.
4. Bake in preheated oven at 325F for two hours.
5. Remove from oven and foil to allow the meat to cool down, then slather the meat with your favorite barbeque sauce.
6. Wrap in cling wrap tightly then place in a ziploc. Pop it in the freezer and it should keep for a while, just like any frozen food.

Anytime you're ready to serve it, simply take it out of the freezer and unwrap, place it on a baking sheet and bake at 425F for 30 minutes. Best served with rice, baked potatoes or mashed potatoes and some blanched vegetables on the side.
