These Dutch oven ribs are a great accompaniment to Sunday afternoon football games on TV. I reviewed all the recipes for spare ribs and then borrowed ideas from many of them to come up with a blend that we tasted and loved.

Ingredients

  • 8 meatys pork loin spareribs
  • 1 tablespoon light olive oil
  • 1 , 14 ounce
  • 0.5 cups ketchup

    Place ribs into a large pot and cover with lightly salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 45 minutes. Drain.
