Got lots of BBQ lovers to feed? Newes from America Pub at Kelley House in Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., shares their flavor-packed baby back ribs recipe!

You’ll need:

• 8 racks baby back ribs (about 10 pounds)
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon cayenne
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Here’s how you make them:

1. Combine all rub ingredients.
2. Place ribs on an unlined sheet pan and coat each slab liberally with rub. Cover with aluminum foil, leaving an opening that you will close later. Place pan on bottom oven rack.
3. Fill each pan with 1 1/2 quarts of beer through opening in foil. Close opening.
4. Cook for 5 1/2 hours in a preheated 225-degree F oven. Ribs should have a good crust on top and be very tender. Let cool. Serves 15-20 people.
