2 1/2tablespoonssmoked paprika
2 1/2tablespoonslemon pepper
1/4teaspooncayenne pepperoptional
1tablespoonsmoked garlic powder
1/2tablespoononion powder

Country Style Ribs:
4lbscountry style ribs
1-2tablespoonsliquid smoke
1-2tablespoonsworcestershire sauce
2-4tablespoonsyellow mustard
1bottle of your favorite bbq sauce
Instructions
Prep: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Option to line a 9x13 baking dish with foil, if you want, for easier clean-up.
Dry Rub: In a small bowl combine the Dry Rub ingredients.
Prep Ribs: Place ribs inside 9x13 baking dish. Pour liquid smoke over top and then rub all over ribs, getting in every nook and cranny. Repeat process with the worcestershire sauce and then the yellow mustard. Sprinkle the Dry Rub all over the ribs and rub into them - this will create a bit of the paste when mixed with the yellow mustard.
Bake: Cover pan with foil and place in the oven, middle rack, for approx. 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 140-150 degrees F (use an internal meat thermometer). Remove foil and return pan to oven and let cook until the internal temperature reaches 195 degrees F. Remove pan from oven and brush on your favorite bbq sauce. Increase oven temp to 400 degrees F. and return to oven, uncovered. Let cook another 5-10 minutes or until BBQ sauce is nice and tacky and the internal temp rises to 200 degrees F.
Rest + Serve: Remove from oven and let rest 10-15 minutes. Serve with additional BBQ sauce - we love serving these with our Dill Pickle Pasta Salad!
Notes
Cook Time: we tested this on 4 pounds of ribs and it took approx. 2 hours for them to reach the 200 degree F. mark - this will vary depending upon the thickness of your ribs, how hot your oven runs, etc. Use an internal meat thermometer to track the temp.
BBQ Sauce: we love our homemade barbecue sauce, but feel free to buy your favorite store-bought version.
