This rub is deceptively simple, yet packs a punch!! I used it on pork butt chops and my wife went wild! I thought the paprika would be overwhelming, however, the meat was tender and flavorful. The paprika created a pleasing color to the chops. I know cooks always want to tweek but I suggest trying the recipe exactly first.

This rub is simple and awesome! The trick is you need to let it sit on the meat either before you cook or as you cook low and slow- use it every time then sauce at end

This recipe is also in the Neelys' 2009 book "Down Home with the Neely's; A Southern Family Cookbook." I used this recipe for my ribs and i could not believe how tasteless the meat was! I was generous and massaged the ribs really well with the rub, then I grilled them up. I am stunned that the Neely's are proud of this recipe. Am I missing something?? I'm stuck with all this dry rub now and I don't want to use it.
