July 4th success!
I outdid myself this year for my grill-out on the 4th.
Smoked Beef Ribs
Grilled BabyBacks
Sweet Corn on the Cob on the grill
Smoked Sausages with Onions and Peppers
Beans and Beer in the crockpot
I used a nice rib rub recipe I got from the net and it was so good and powerful that I made a very light version of my rib sauce and used it sparingly. The ribs were fantastic. The babybacks, I used the rub, wrapped in foil and put in the oven for 3 hours on 250, then moved to the grill for glazing. The smoked stuff, I just threw on the grill until hot enough to serve. The corn, wow, it was easy. I bought it in the husk, soaked the ears in a bucket of water for a couple of hours, then threw them on the grill on medium for 20 minutes and closed the hood. Perfect!
The beauty of this grill-out was that I was constantly serving food off the grill, but only spent about 15 minutes total slaving over it.
Oh yeah, the beans were just dried kidney and great northerns stewed in beer overnight in the crockpot. No fat, and delicious!
