This is not your traditional ribs recipe. It's not a replacement for finger licking BBQ ribs, rather a tasty alternative. Especially convenient during winter when outdoor grilling is challenging. The ribs are so tender and DELICIOUS 😋 

INGREDIENTS

• 2 teaspoons spike seasoning (see note)
• 1 teaspoon Accent Seasoning 
• 1⁄2teaspoon ground black pepper 
• 5 racks of baby-back pork ribs (about 5 pounds)
• 6 garlic cloves minced
• 2 large jalapeno peppers, minced
• 2 large onions halved and thinly sliced
• 2 green peppers  thinly sliced
• 2 rred bell peppers thinly sliced
• 2 yellow bell peppers thinly sliced

DIRECTIONS

• In a cup, combine Spike and Ac'cent seasonings, and black pepper.
• Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon seasoning mixture on each side of the rib racks.
• In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, jalapeno peppers and remaining seasoning mixture.
• Rub the garlic mixture on the top and bottom of the ribs.
• Line a large roasting pan (17 x 11 1/2 inches) with enough foil to wrap all the ribs.
• Spread a layer of onions and bell peppers on top of the foil.
• Place 2 rib racks, side by side, on the vegetables.
• Continue to layer the onions and peppers and the ribs.
• Tightly wrap the marinated ribs in the foil and refrigerate for 2 days.
• Remove the pan from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400.
• Before placing the ribs in the oven, reduce the temperature to 300.
• Bake the foil-wrapped ribs for 6 to 8 hours.
• Remove the ribs.
• Spoon off the fat from the liquid in the pan and discard, reserving the pan juices.
• Cut each rack into three sections and serve with the vegetables and pan juices.
• *NoteSpike seasoning is a special blend of 38 herbs, vegetables and exotic spices, combined with a bit of salt.
• It can be found in most major grocery stores with spices or salt.

From the picture the ribs don't look very appetizing but the recipe sounds very good. Thanks for posting

@Goodie2shoes - I agree about the visual. The ribs are slow braised so they don't look as appetizing as the grilled saucy ribs. But the flavor is incredible and they are tender fall off the bone.  No babysitting/basting required. Once they are in the oven, you just need to patiently await the 8 hours

These sound delicious and tender.

I don't know how you could cook those baby back ribs at 400° for 6-8 hrs? They don't look very appetizing.

We make baby back ribs in the oven that we cook at 400° for 2 hrs?

We take the membrane off the back, sprinkle with salt, pepper & chili powder or any bbq seasoning you want to use. Double wrap tight in heavy duty foil. Bake at 400° for 2 hrs. Take foil off brush with bbq sauce & put on grill about 5 mins. If you don't use a grill you can put under the broiler a few mins to cook sauce on. These are yummy. I think I like them better then off the grill or smoker. Generally when you buy ribs already cooked they have way too much smoke flavor or have that creosote taste that's bitter & numbs the tongue. I hate that stuff. YUCK. That's why we make our own.

@Chi-town girl 

I missed that part. Temp still seems a little high being cooked that long.

@Nightowlz - I've made this recipe a number of times and it turns out great. Very flavorful and cooking in foil packets makes it an easy cleanup
