I’m thrilled to be partnering with Bounty for this messy recipe!

You guys it is totally possible that I am raising absolute slobs.

Like true pigs. And before you start saying things about apples falling from trees they are near . . . this is all on them. They just came here this way.

Which probably explains why we got an Amazon Prime dash button for Bounty Paper Towels. And I hope this explains why I am ***giddy*** about the new Bounty Quick-Size Paper Towels that are available on Amazon.

GIDDY.

These paper towels are perfect for my tiny little slobs because they get a paper towel sheet exactly the size of their little messes. I love them for napkins for my kids, cleaning up spills, and just general cleaning around my house, because, guys . . . . there is a LOT of cleaning around my house.

If you have all the messes around your house, order some Bounty Quick-Size Paper Towel from Amazon!

Guess what else the new Bounty Quick-Size Paper Towels are perfect for?? You guessed it! These totally amazing ribs! They are made in the oven. The prep time on them is less than 10 minutes, and they are fall-off-the-bone delicious. They are also dripping with the best Honey BBQ Sauce. You guys know how much I love Honey BBQ. It’s just so perfect and comes together so easily, like in these Honey BBQ Instant Pot Cocktail Meatballs or these Slow Cooker Honey BBQ Chicken Drumsticks.

HOW DO YOU MAKE RIBS IN THE OVEN?

  1. Using a pairing knife, remove the thick membrane from the back of the ribs (the bone side). Some ribs come with it already gone.
  2. Preheat your oven to 250 degrees and line a baking sheet with two pieces of aluminum foil, shiny side in.
  3. Mix together the ingredients for the rub. Rub about half the rub into each side of the ribs.
  4. Place the rib meat side down on the aluminum foil and fold the foil around the meat, pinching it to make a sealed pouch.
  5. Bake the ribs in the oven for two hours.
  6. Remove the ribs from the oven open the foil and increase the temperature on your oven to 350 degrees..
  7. Brush with Honey BBQ sauce on all sides. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven, slice and serve with more barbecue sauce.

    Oh! These looks scrumptious and for sure I’m thinking Bounty paper towels on hand would be an excellent idea!

  2. Tiffany says

    Hi! I think you left the baking time out in the instructions, but judging from your cooking time I am guessing it’s 2 hours at 250 deg.
