Ingredients:

For the BBQ Ribs:

2 racks of baby back ribs

1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

Salt and pepper to taste

Garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder for seasoning

For the Mac & Cheese:

2 cups elbow macaroni

1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup milk

3 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons flour

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Sides:

2 ears of corn, boiled or grilled

French fries, to serve

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

For the Ribs:

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Season the ribs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder.

Place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil, and cover them with another sheet of foil.

Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.

Brush with BBQ sauce and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize and the ribs to become even more flavorful.

For the Mac & Cheese:

Cook elbow macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk to create a roux.

Slowly add milk, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens.

Add shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and smooth.

Season with salt and pepper, then mix in the cooked macaroni. Serve hot and creamy!

For the Sides:

Boil or grill the corn on the cob. Brush with butter and season with salt.

Serve with crispy French fries on the side.

To Serve: Plate the tender BBQ ribs with a scoop of mac & cheese, crispy fries, and a side of sweet corn on the cob. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for that finishing touch.
