Tony Roma's World Famous Ribs

I always let our children and grandchildren choose their favorite meal for their birthday dinner. Last year, our seven-year-old grandson requested rooster. I asked him if he'd ever eaten rooster and he said, "No, but I'd sure like to try some!!" So, I cooked "rooster". Tomorrow, I'm making BBQ ribs for our grandson who is turning 13. This recipe is supposed to be Tony Roma's world famous ribs. I don't know about that, but they sure are delicious!!!

Buy 4 pounds of baby back pork ribs and cut them into serving sizes (4-6 ribs each). Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Coat the front and back of each section with barbecue sauce and wrap tightly in foil. Place in oven, seam side up and bake for 2 1/2 hours. Remove from foil, place on hot grill and brush with additional sauce. Grill each side 2 to4 minutes. Serve hot with additional sauce.

Tony Roma's Blue Ridge Smokie Sauce:
1 cup ketchup
1 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup molasses
1 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp onion powder

Combine in medium sauce pan, whisk until smooth and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until sauce has thickened.
