Homemade McRib

The McRib is back! Not really…or maybe? I can't remember the last time I had fast food 🤣 but this is a much better option than whatever that delicious processed meat patty smothered in sauce is…I hate myself for how much I actually liked the McRib 😂

This is a little time consuming, but quite easy and done on the stove top. Once it starts simmering it's pretty much a wait and baste with more waiting than basting.

Rub the bottom of a pan with some bacon lube and give it a sprinkle of salt & pepper. Place some halved baby potatoes cut side down then add onions and garlic. You could skip this, but anytime I slow cook meat I like to put it on top of potatoes, they always come out great 😄 and are a nice alternate to fries.

chili's voice Half a rack of baby back baby back baby back…ribs..and now that song is stuck in you're head 😆…on top, don't forget to remove the membrane, cover with SPPOG plus chili powder and cumin, then add enough broth to just about cover the potatoes. Usually I have homemade chicken or beef stock but apparently I was out so I used my backup stuff which was Better Than Bullion beef base. Cover and bring to a simmer.

Simmer down, have a beer or 8, and baste it every now and then when you feel bored. Repeat until the bones loosen up and are ready to pull out.

Remove the bones and sauce it up, for proper fauxthenticity you could go to McDonald's while this is cooking and get their bbq sauce, but I like Sweet Baby Ray's. Throw it on a roll with and handful of onions and enjoy! Yes, I skipped the pickles but that's because I hate pickles 🤣
