Foodie Friday – Eric Scott’s BBQ Ribs and Beans

It’s another Foodie Friday, and with Memorial Day right around corner I have a great recipe that combines two great foods with my two favorite cooking methods: the grill and the slow cooker.

What could be better than fall-off-the-bone ribs and barbecued baked beans?!

You’ll start with a dry rub for the ribs and giving them a nice char on the grill, then lay them in a slow cooker with baked beans and you have a featured meal for your BBQ or a great take-along dish to a friend’s house!

You can even kick it up with some spicy mini corn muffins.

Your shopping list is below, then watch the video to see how it’s made!

Shopping List:
