Marvelous Mustard Ribs

TeresaS's Note:

This has been my most favorite rib recipe for the longest time. My DS and DD have always requested this dish when they come home during the summer.(BBQ time!!) I hope you will enjoy this dish. It is from a cook book called "HOT & SPICY" by Better Homes Gardens that I picked up at the store. I have a couple of excellent recipes out of this book. ENJOY!!! Cooking time includes chill time.

The sauce on these ribs is what made it! I had my grill on a little too hot so they got a little overcooked but were still good. Will make these again. Made for Zaar Stars Tag.

I'm not usually one to be making any kind of rib recipe, but got intrigued with yours, so thought I'd try it our when we had an overnight guest! I did cut the recipe in half for the 3 of us, & your ribs were fantastic! Absolutely delicious! I was a little concerned about how spicy it might be, but it was just about right for 2 of us, so that wasn't too bad! Definitely a recipe worth keeping around! Thanks for sharing it!

Great ribs! The spice rub and sauce both provide great flavor. I did use a different cooking method...I wrapped the ribs (covered in spice rub) in foil and baked at 300F for 2 hours then brushed on the sauce and put them under the broiler for a few minutes. Everyone enjoyed them and they didn't last long. Made for PRMR.
