How’s your grilling been going this sweltering summer? We’ve been grilling as much as possible…keeping the house as cool as possible you know. Well now’s the time to put all that expertise to work. There’s a couple weeks left to enter the Dibs on my Ribs Recipe Contest co-sponsored by Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc., McCormick & Company, Inc., Kraft Foods, Inc., and the National Pork Board.
I’ve been trying out the spice blends from McCormick and adding a little kick with a simple homemade sauce using Root Beer, Chili Sauce and Grey Poupon Mustard. Ribs are actually one of the easier meats to grill, there isn’t a lot of prep work or watching them constantly while they cook.
