These originally started as a Dutch oven recipe, but we’ve just been making it in the oven for the last several years. It’s fun for a big gathering–it does tend to be messier and greasier, FYI. Also, it’s pretty flavorful, so you may want a mild side dish with it, like white rice or rolls. And we usually serve it in a bowl so you get plenty of sauce.
As long as you get gluten free BBQ sauce (which basically all are), this one is naturally gluten free.
Make it a meal with:
- Rice
- Chili Lime Corn
- Green Salad
- Pistachio Salad or Orange Cottage Cheese Salad
BBQ Country Ribs

The secret to the sauce is Dr. Pepper, of course.
Ingredients
- About 5 lbs. Pork Country Ribs, cut in pieces
- Canadian Steak Seasoning
- 1 large bottle Honey BBQ Sauce
- 1 jar Orange Marmalade
- 1 can Dr. Pepper
- 1 Onion, chopped large
Directions
Place ribs in foil and sprinkle with steak seasoning. Seal up ribs in foil packet and bake in pan at 325° for 2 hours. Then combine remaining ingredients in pot and place ribs in sauce. Simmer (or replace in oven) for 1 hour. If you’re in a hurry, it doesn’t have to simmer for a whole hour.
