BBQ Ribs

Ribs are kind of tricky to get just right, but we've always had the most success when we slow cook them first, then throw them on the grill for a few minutes before serving...

BBQ Ribs
1 rack of ribs
Season Salt
Garlic Powder
Black Pepper
BBQ Sauce of choice

Season ribs with salt, garlic and pepper.  I mean really slather it on there.  I rub it in too.  Place in crock pot for several hours (do it on low if you have 6-8 hours but 3-4 hours on high will do).

Carefully remove from crock pot and place on a big piece of foil on grill.  Coat in BBQ sauce.  Cook for around 15 minutes on each side, basting with sauce.  Let rest for 10 minutes before eating.

French Dip

Oh how I love French Dip sandwiches!!! They are truly one of my favorite things to eat!  My kids really love to eat them up too.  Today I tried something new, here's the recipe.

French Dip
1 Beef Roast
1/4 cup butter
salt
pepper
1 sweet onion
4-5 cloves garlic
1/2 cup beef bouillon granules
8 cups water
1 packet Italian salad dressing seasoning mix

Melt butter in large pot over high heat on stove.  Salt and pepper one side of roast, put that side down in the hot pan/butter.  Salt and pepper the other side and flip the roast over, getting all sides nice and brown.

Place roast in slow cooker.  Add remaining ingredients.  Cook over low heat for 6-8 hours.  Shred the beef and serve on buns.  Strain the onion out of the juice and use the rest of the juice as the dipping juice for the sandwich.

Yum!
