Country Style Root Beer Glazed Ribs Recipe (Oven Baked)

Here is a simple recipe for country style pork ribs. Country ribs are part of the loin on the pig. It’s usually very tender, especially if you cook it right. Another plus is, it’s usually cheaper than regular ribs. They also have more meat than regular “rack ribs”. You can purchase this cut of meat at almost any supermarket. Although this recipe is simple, it is far from quick. I slow cooked these in my oven on 325 for a couple of hours. Root beer is a key ingredient. While cooking the root beer with our meat, it cooks down and forms a brown sugar type of glaze and flavors the ribs throughout. By the time you are finished with your meat, it will be extremely tender . This recipe is especially for individuals that live in apartments that do not allow them to BBQ outside on a grill, or for those that simply aren’t grill experienced. You can have delicious barbecue without using a grill, int the comfort of your own home. Sure it may take a while to prepare, but you will be well satisfied with the outcome. I personally would serve potato salad, and green beans with this recipe .You may choose to use BBQ , or not. Again, the root beer is extremely flavorful. What kind of root beer? Honestly, I use whatever is one sale. With these, I used a supermarket generic brand of root beer. If you insist of using your favorite brand, please do so. Remember to preheat your oven while you’re preparing everything else!

    I want to make this…do you cook the ribs on the top or bottom rack of your oven. I hope I don't sound ignorant =). Please help if you can.

    Would love to make these, but need to know when you add the remaining root beer! The look so good!! How does the root beer coat the meat if it is only in the bottom of the pan????? Just wondering…

      You add the remaining root beer when the rest dissolves. The root beer will cook down and form a syrup, You must turn the meat periodically to ensure each side has the root beer, AND turning the meat prevents it from burning.

      There is not a specific time on brushing the meat. But whenever you peak in, and it looks a lil drier than you’d like- give it a “mop” 🙂

    Just to make sure, you do mean Tbs on the onion and garlic? Seems like a lot of seasoning after I mixed it all together.

      No. It’s correct. You can always follow your taste buds though. If you feel the need to cut back on the seasonings, feel free.

    I can’t believe how GREAT these ribs are. I had laid out some ribs and didn’t know what to do with them. Im so glad I found this recipe. My husband was upset that I was going to fix ribs in the oven instead of on the grill. I could tell he was dreading dinner but once he tried them he couldn’t stop eating them and our two daughters had seconds also. They were so fall apart tender and full of great flavor. My husband tried to save a couple of ribs for his lunch the next day but only one made it through the night. I did receive a call the next day at lunch time telling me how great the rib was. This definatly is a repeat recipe. Thanks for helping me give my family a memorable dinner and a hand me down recipe.

    OMG! I made these last night for dinner and they were so good! I’m not a big fan of ribs, but my family loves them so I make them but not very often. I will be making these at least 3 or 4 times a month. I LOVED them! There were no left overs last night! So delicious! My family wants them for dinner again tonight! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, cant wait to try some of your others!

    Hi Rosie,
    My ribs released a lot of juice while cooking. Do you think I could take out most of the juice after the first hour and add another cup or root beer? There was so much waterjuice released from the ribs, the root beer never had a chance to get thick. Thanks so much!

    Hi Rosie! Im a beginner cook so this might sound like a dumb question but whenever you say chopped onions do you mean an actual onion chopped or the kind you get in a bottle where the spices are…and the same with the chopped garlic…are you chopping up cloves of garlic or using the pre minced jarred garlic? Please respond…id appreciate it. Thx Rosie 🙂
