Baby Back Pork Ribs
With Summer in full swing here in CA, it is not often that we are home during the day which makes it difficult to prepare dinner before we get home. Recently, I discovered Tony Roma’s pre-cooked ribs and pulled pork at my local grocery store and just like that, dinner time just got easier at our house!
The ribs come in an easy top open package already coated in a tangy BBQ sauce. There are several ways to cook them!
1. Just place them in a pan, meat side down, spread the sauce, and put the pan in the oven broil for ten minutes. Remove them from the oven and turn them, apply more sauce and heat for an additional six minutes. In less than 20 minutes, you’ll have delicious pork ribs with the signature Tony Roma taste.
2.You can even grill the pre-cooked ribs, meat side up on medium for seven minutes, turning, brushing on more sauce and heating for about four minutes.
3. Even better, try pork ribs oven baked by placing them in a pan, covering them with sauce and heat for 20 to 25 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pulled Pork
Tony Roma’s also carries their signature style pulled pork in the grocery store. This precooked barbecue is easy to prepare and can be on your table in about 20 minutes. Since two of my family members eat Gluten-Free we did not use any buns, instead we paired it with some fruit and vegetable and it was a very filling dinner.
Tony Roma’s also has some delicious Recipes as well. Here are 3 to use this summer.
