dr pepper baby back ribs
I have a few recipes for Dr Pepper Ribs, but this is our favorite. I don't know a lot about the recipe's history other than the recipe comes from Texas (where Dr Pepper was created). The sauce is equally good with either baby back ribs or country style ribs, and it can be grilled, too. I hope you enjoy it. There are lots of versions of this recipe, but this one is a bit spicy and has a nice zest to it.

How To Make dr pepper baby back ribs
-
Step 1Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Sauté the onion and garlic in the butter until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients (except the ribs), and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until the sauce thickens. Adjust seasonings, if needed.
-
Step 2Place ribs on a large baking sheet lined with heavy foil. Brush half the sauce all over the ribs on both sides. Cover with foil, and let marinate in refrigerator 2-8 hours.
-
Step 3When you're ready to bake the ribs, preheat oven to 300°F. Place the baking sheet, still covered in foil, into the oven and bake for 2 hours.
-
Step 4After 2 hours of baking, remove the foil, brush another generous layer of sauce all over the ribs. Return pan to the oven and continue cooking 30 to 40 minutes.
-
Step 5When ribs are fully cooked, remove pan from oven, slice between ribs and serve.
