Tequila Barbecued Pork Ribs

Tequila Barbecued Pork Ribs

Country Style Pork Ribs (there were 5 in the pkg I bought)
Garlic Salt & Pepper
Olive Oil
1/2 can Coca-Cola
1/4 cup tequila
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cumin
1 cup bbq sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ Sauce)

Heat olive oil in a large iron skillet. Season the pork with garlic salt and pepper and brown well on both sides in the oil. Remove ribs and place in a baking dish (clean up will be easier if you line the dish with a piece of aluminum foil). Seal with foil and bake at 375^ for about 30 minutes.

In the meantime, drain the oil from the skillet. Place skillet over medium heat and pour in the Coke, stirring well to loosen the browned bits from the pork. Add the tequila, brown sugar and cumin and simmer until the liquid is reduced by about half. Stir in the bbq sauce and reduce heat to low until ribs are ready.

Remove the foil covering from the baking dish and pour the sauce over the ribs to coat them. Return to oven and bake another 20 minutes or so, until ribs are falling apart tender.

This is my favorite BBQ sauce. It's also great on just about any kind of meat you cook on the grill. We had the ribs tonight with a can of Bush's Country Style Baked Beans that were jazzed up with a squirt of yellow mustard, a drizzle of maple syrup and about 3 tbsp bbq sauce and heated in a skillet until hot. I love easy meals....
