DrBBQ’s Chile Country Style Ribs with Borracho Beans

By Ray Lampe, Dr. BBQ

The earthy flavors of Dizzy Pig SPG Chilies Seasoning are a perfect complement to the hearty pork and bean dish. The beer flavor melds into the sauce and you’d have a hard time knowing it was there, but it’s the secret ingredient. Serve the pork on the side or use boneless ribs and just break them up into the beans when they are tender to eat it like a stew. Don’t skip the yellow rice, it’s a great addition to the plate.

Directions

  1. Prepare the grill to cook indirect at 300°F, using cherry wood for flavor if desired
