Dr Pepper - (not diet) Use enough to cover ribs in pot. If using the Sam's Club pack (3 slabs) you will probably use 1 1/2 -2 (2 liter) bottles - divide between two pots.
1 large onion quartered. If using 2 pots use 2 onions.
About 5 cloves of garlic - peeled and slightly smashed - in each pot.
1 TBL of liquid smoke in each pot - don't use if grilling.
BBQ sauce
----------------
I usually cut every two ribs - add to pot(s)
Cover with Dr Pepper - add onion, garlic and liquid smoke
Bring to a boil then lower to a simmer for 2 hours
You will probably have to skim the fat from the pot. The liquid smoke gets a little funky.
Take out - clean off if you have to - and add to pan. I always spray Pam on the pan - not sure if you have to. Disposable works fine - make sure it's heavy duty or double the pans.
Pour BBQ sauce on top of ribs. I've only made this with Sweet Baby Ray (regular)
Cover with heavy duty foil and bake at 350 for 1 hour.
Lower to 250 and cook for about 2 more hours. Last 20-30 minutes take cover off if you want to .
Check and make sure they aren't getting dry. I use a lot of BBQ sauce so they are usually fine.
