It turned out fantastic. I used boneless country ribs and my wife loved them. Baked potato with fresh chives and broccoli accented the meal.

Just finished eating this w/hubby and son. Everyone liked it, will make again just as written. I used country-style ribs and removed the bones before serving. Will use pork w/o any bones next time.
