How to Make Time To Spare Ribs

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Place a 13x9x2 inch baking pan on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
  3. Add 1/4 cup all-purpose flour to a large oven cooking bag (the kind you can cook in). Shake to coat the inside.
  4. Add 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce, 1 medium onion (chopped), and 1 bell pepper (chopped) to the bag.
  5. Squeeze the bag gently to combine the sauce, onion, and bell pepper.
  6. Cut the rack of ribs (approximately 3-4 pounds) into serving-size pieces and add them to the bag.
  7. Gently turn the bag to coat the ribs evenly with the sauce and vegetables.
  8. Arrange the ribs in a single layer within the bag.
  9. Secure the bag tightly with a nylon tie.
  10. Make 2-3 small slits in the top of the bag to allow steam to escape.
  11. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the ribs are fork-tender and falling off the bone.
  12. Optional: For a heartier meal, add 1 (15-ounce) can of your favorite beans (drained and rinsed) along with the ribs.
  13. Let the ribs rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
