Here is a good recipe for spare ribs without bbq sauce. I have made Susie’s recipe a few times and it is always good! Sometimes I add chunked potatoes to this dish as it cooks. My mom and grandmother always did this. Guess it made the dish go further!

Mom McGinnis's Spare Rib and Sauerkraut

1 lb. spare ribs
1, 32 oz., bag sauerkraut, store brand is fine
salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup water or less

In a 9x13" or small pan put the kraut in the bottom adding about 1/3 cup water. Then salt and pepper the spare ribs and then put on top of kraut. Cover and cook in a 325º to 350º oven for at least 11/2 to 2 hours. I have not cooked this meal in the oven for over 10 years or longer. I do mine in the Crock Pot putting the kraut and water in it the night before letting it cook all night and then in the morning I put the ribs around the kraut making sure a couple of ribs are on top of the mixture. Then letting it cook until 5:00 to 6:00pm. I guess the secret is the pork fat takes out the tartness. We do not add anything else to it. To complete the meal we have carrots, corn bread, of course mashed potatoes and Orange Jell-O for dessert. Not a diet meal. To me this meal is so simple but so good and easy to make.
