Barbecue Ribs Dry Rub Recipes

Barbecue Ribs Dry Rub Recipes

When it comes to cooking food outdoors, there are a variety of methods and techniques. Some people use charcoal, others use wood. Still others prefer convenient gas grilling. Regardless of what technique you use to cook your meat outdoors, you need the right seasonings. While some people prefer slow simmered sauces, others swear by dry rubs.

Originally, dry rubs were used to preserve meat. However these days, most people use dry rubs to impart flavor, seal in moisture and create a flavorful barrier. Ribs go especially well with dry rubs. Here are some great barbecue ribs dry rub recipes you can try next time you're preparing pork ribs.

Spicy BBQ Rub

1 tsp onion powder 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp ground ginger 1 tsp black pepper 1 tsp salt 1 tsp cayenne pepper 1 tsp paprika

Mix all ingredients together and store in a cool, dry place until ready to use.

Barbecue Ribs Dry Rub Recipe

1 tbsp cumin powder 1 tbsp thyme 1 tsp salt 2 tbsp black pepper ½ tbsp cayenne

Blend all ingredients and store in a cool, dry location until ready to use.

Tennessee Style Rib Rub

3 tbsp paprika 1 tbsp onion powder 1 tbsp garlic powder 1 tbsp basil 1 tbsp mustard powder 1 tsp red pepper 1 tsp black pepper

As always, blend all ingredients and store in a cool dry place.

Tips for Dry Rubs:

Experiment with your own dried spices to come up with a rib rub that's uniquely yours. As a general rule, heat such as that found in red pepper is well balanced by something mellow and sweet like brown sugar or ginger. Paprika is always good in barbecue rubs, as is garlic, salt and pepper. When coating the ribs before cooking, rub the spices into the meat and cover the surface thoroughly. Let the spices set on the meat for a few hours in the refrigerator before cooking. This allows the flavor to soak in. If you find you need moisture when cooking, try brushing the ribs with honey.

Once you've experimented with different barbecue ribs dry rub recipes, you'll never want to go back to barbecue sauce again!

Crock Pot Barbecue Meatballs

Crock Pot Barbecue Meatballs

Crock pot barbecue meatballs are a classic dish that work well at any dinner or gathering. Holidays are a great time to prepare this delicious yet unbelievably simple dish. Read on for our basic crockpot barbecue meatballs recipe, which can be modified to suit your own individual tastes.

For the Meatballs:

2 lbs ground beef 1/3 cup minced onion 1/3 cup rolled oats 1 beaten egg ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon pepper 1 teaspoon sage 1 teaspoon rosemary

For the Sauce:

1 cup tomato ketchup ½ teaspoon mustard powder 3 tablespoons brown sugar 1/4 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Mix all meatball ingredients together and roll them into ball form. Place in skillet and brown the meatballs on all sides, cooking over medium heat for approximately five minutes. In your crock pot, combine sauce ingredients and mix well. Add the meatballs, cover the crock pot and cook for five and a half hours on the Low setting. Stir occasionally during the cooking process and make sure all meatballs are covered with sauce.

Variations:

There are many different ways you can prepare crock pot barbecue meatballs. Try mixing Italian sausage in with the ground beef and substituting tomato sauce for ketchup. Or go Swedish and create a creamy sauce for your meatballs from sour cream and Cream of Mushroom soup. For a little more substance, try serving your meatballs with rice or egg noodles.

If you prefer not to make your own meatballs, try the frozen kind found at the supermarket. They may not be as good as homemade, but they'll certainly do! If you like, you can bake or fry your meatballs, then freeze them for slow cooker use at a later date.

For easy cleanup, wait until your crock pot is cool then fill the inner area with hot, soapy water. Use a sponge or nylon net scrubber to scrub your crock pot – never use Brillo! If you're experiencing staining, cook water and white vinegar on the highest setting for around two hours. The stains will come off and your crock pot will look as good as new!
