Smokey Sweet Spareribs #DibsOnMyRibs Contest #giveaway

I love grilling out. It’s the perfect way to have friends over and enjoy quality time together. Before moving, we loved having cookouts with our neighbors and the perfect “send-off” to moving was a 4th of July Grillout. When being told about the Dibs on My Ribs Cookoff, I decided it was the perfect time to test my creativity and create something I’ve never done before.

The Dibs on my Ribs! Cookoff gives entrants the chance to win a one year supply of groceries by creating a recipe with a minumum of three ingredients, including at least 1 5-lb portion of pork spareribs, one McCormick spice or seasoning product and at least 1 Kraft Foods BBQ Sauce.

Smokey Sweet Spareribs

Prepared on smoker

• 1 5lb pork spareribs
• 2 cup Kraft Honey Hickory Smoke BBQ Sauce, 1 cup set aside
• 5 tbsp. McCormick Grill Mates Sweet & Smoky Rub
• 1 tsp. McCormick Grill Mates Smokehouse Maple
• 1 tbsp. McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Steak
• 1 tbsp. Root Beer
• 1 tsp. Liquid Smoke
• 2 tbsp. Brown Sugar

With set aside barbecue sauce, add root beer, liquid smoke, and brown sugar.

1. Apply Sweet&Smoky Rub to spareribs.
2. Brush ribs with Honey Hickory Smoke BBQ Sauce
3. Sprinkle Montreal Steak Seasoning and Smokehouse Maple Seasoning evenly across ribs.
4. After heating smoker, place ribs and cover. Due to the size of the smoker we were using, we had to cut the ribs into servings to fit evenly.
5. Approximately every hour, brush set-aside BBQ sauce mixture.

The ribs smoked for approximately 3 1/2 to 4 hours.

Overall, the ribs were a HUGE hit. I actually only got a small section of ribs but I LOVED it. They were smoky and spicy but had the hint of sweet that made them the ultimate must-try. I will definitely be playing with making spareribs again.
