  • Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 1 (1.25-oz.) pkg. pork chops cooking bag and seasoning blend
  • 1 3/4 lb. pork loin back ribs
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup hickory and molasses-flavored barbecue sauce

Steps

  • 1
    Place oven rack in lower half of oven; heat oven to 350°F. Arrange opened cooking bag in 13x9-inch pan. Place ribs in bag with seasoning; shake to coat. Arrange ribs in single layer in bag, meaty side up. Pour water over ribs. Close bag loosely with nylon tie provided with cooking bag. Cut 4 small holes in bag to allow steam to escape.
  • 2
    Bake in lower half of oven at 350°F. for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, heat grill.
  • 3
    When ready to grill, carefully open bag. Remove ribs from bag; place on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Brush ribs with barbecue sauce; cook 20 minutes, turning and brushing occasionally with sauce.

  • Look for the pork chops cooking bag and seasoning blend in the spice, meat or gravy section of the supermarket.
  • If the bag and seasoning mix is unavailable, season the ribs with jerk seasoning and place them in a foil packet for baking.
  • Use your favorite barbecue sauce in place of the hickory and molasses sauce.
  • Cooking bags reduce mess and consequently, your clean-up time. They also shorten the grilling time and seal in moisture so the ribs stay tender.
