Extremely easy baby back ribs

Total cooking time: 5-8 hours
Active cooking time: about 10 minutes

This recipe serves about 4-5 hungry adults

Ingredients
2 baby back pork rib packets
salt/pepper
your favorite bbq sauce

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Lay out a long strip of foil on the bottom of a baking sheet. Put one rack of ribs on the foil, bone side down. Liberally salt and pepper the ribs. Put another sheet of foil on top of the ribs. Tightly seal the bottom and top foil pieces together so that the ribs are encased in a nice little leak-free packet. (You'll be opening and resealing this packet later, so make it easy for yourself.) Do the same for the other rib rack.

Lay both rib racks on the baking sheet (2 racks fit perfectly on 1 sheet) and put in the oven. Bake for 4-6 hours (I usually do closer to 4 or 4.5) and then remove from oven. Carefully open up your foil packets enough for you to heavily brush on lots of your bbq sauce. Reseal the packets. Bake for another 1.5-2 hours or until meat is absolutely falling off the bone.

And feel free to experiment: It's fun to try out a different flavor of bbq sauce in each rib packet.
