Joe’s Easiest Baby Back Ribs

A mouth-watering rack of baby back ribs coated with a glossy, rich barbecue sauce, sizzling on a hot grill over glowing coals. The ribs have a smoky, caramelized exterior with slightly charred edges, making them look juicy and perfectly grilled. The flames beneath the grill enhance the appetizing, freshly cooked appearance.

When it comes to fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs, sometimes simple is best. With just two ingredients—pork baby back ribs and barbecue sauce—this recipe delivers tender, juicy ribs without the hassle. The low and slow oven-baking method locks in moisture, while the BBQ sauce infuses the ribs with rich, smoky sweetness. No grill? No problem. These easy oven-baked ribs are perfect for weeknight dinners, game day, or backyard BBQ cravings—all without the extra effort.

  • 2 lb. Pork Baby Back Ribs (divided into four 1/2 lb. portions)

  3. Bake ribs, wrapped tightly in the foil, for 2-1/2 hours. Remove from foil and add more sauce, if desired.
