Step 1
Place the ribs into an 8-quart saucepot and add water to cover. Heat over medium-high heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 30 minutes or until the meat is tender. Drain the ribs well in a colander.
Step 2
Heat the soup, ketchup, honey, garlic powder and black pepper in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Pat the ribs dry and season with salt and pepper. Lightly oil the grill rack and heat the grill to medium. Grill the ribs for 20 minutes or until well glazed, turning and brushing often with the soup mixture. Cut the ribs into serving-sized pieces.
Great in the crockpot, too.
I use Baby Back Ribs and add about 1/3 cup vinegar to the water when boiling ribs. Follow the rest of the directions for preparing. Place ribs and sauce in a crock pot: cook on LOW for 6-8 hours. It doesn't get any easier or better than this.
Honey BBQ Ribs
I did not like the sauce. It did not have the kick to it that I like my sauce to have.
This was very good and taste tasted great. I'll be making it again.
Loved it. Tasted great.
The sauce is great. Works well on ribs. It works even better with chicken. I make this up ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator just so I have to BBQ with. If you want to kick it up add a half a teaspoon of chili powder or tabasco sauce to it.
