Calgary Stampede Ribs

I've made this ribs recipe multiple times and keep coming back to it.  It's got a homemade dry rub and BBQ sauce.  These are bound to be very popular, so I recommend making a double or triple batch.  The really nice thing is that you can bake them in advance (even the day before) so that when you get to grilling, it's only a couple minutes to tasty ribs!

  • Ribs
    • 4 pounds pork back ribs, cut into serving-size pieces
    • 3 garlic cloves, minced

    • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
    • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground mustard
    • 1 teaspoon celery seed
