Sweet ‘n Spicy Rib Sandwich

Sweet 'n Spicy Rib SandwichOne of the biggest summer holidays for grilling is coming up in just a few days and I have got something delicious in store for you! Now, typically I leave the meats and grilling all up to the husband while I take care of sides, desserts and decor, but I wanted to show him that I could come up with a mean barbecue recipe as well! I think this did the trick.

I wanted to create a sweet and spicy rib that could be either grilled or baked in the oven for those without access to a grill, so I did grill these, but I also have an easy alternative listed below in order to make them in the oven as well. These ribs are tender, easy to pull from the bone and full of flavor. They are great as is, but I also created an easy sandwich with them that you could easily whip up for your guests, or to help take care of the leftovers. That is, if there are any left!

When preparing for this recipe I headed to Walmart because I knew I could get something delicious at a great price. I was not disappointed, I found these Farmland Ribs and decided they would be a perfect for what I had in mind. I even had a  coupon for $1 off from Coupons.com (just scroll down until you find the Farmland coupon – while supplies last!), and I love that these ribs are free from artificial ingredients and preservatives, with no added steroids or hormones. Farmland also has an “All Natural” tenderloin that’s great for grilling as well!

Since I am not a professional at the barbecue, I’m an amateur at best, I found a super informative site (readysetribs.com) that has tons of grilling tips for all levels of experience. I found it to be incredibly helpful and explains the how to’s with simple steps and information. It’s perfect for someone like me who is just finding interest in the grill, but it’s also helpful for those grill masters who are a pro on the grill since there’s always more to learn!

So, back to the food. I created a rub for the ribs that was savory with a bit of a kick to it, thanks to the smoked paprika and chipotle chili powder as well as the brown sugar. Then I placed it on the grill, low and slow for a little over an hour. Once it had cooked for a while, I wrapped it up in foil and let it grill a bit longer, and then over the last 20-30 minutes I brushed the sauces over it a few times. Once it was done, the knife sliced right through and I couldn’t resist getting a taste. Delicious! I then grabbed a few ribs and sliced all the meat off the bone and added some more of the sauce. Served it on a toasted onion bun with easy vegetable, it’s a great summertime rib sandwich!

(AD) There has been a lot of cooking going on this year, so I’ve tried to make life a bit easier by getting creative with my leftovers. These pulled pork totchos are a great example of leftovers with a few key ingredients to create something new to keep our meals exciting. Adding a few key ingredients like @lamorenausa adobo peppers and jalapeños and carrots definitely livens up something simple. La Morena peppers are hand selected, using only the highest quality peppers to bring you authentic home style flavors of Mexico. I purchased my La Morena items from my local Safeway, but you can find them at your favorite grocery store in the international food section. #PayItForwardwithLM #VivaLaMorena #WeCanWithLaMorena 
 
INGREDIENTS:
- 32 oz tater tots
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend + Pepper Jack)
- 2 cups prepared bbq pulled pork (check my pulled pork sliders recipe!)
- 1/2 can La Morena Adobo Peppers & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sour cream 
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
- 1 cup pico de Gallo
- 1/2 cup guacamole
- 3 chopped green onions 
- 3-4 La Morena jalapeños and carrots, sliced

INSTRUCTIONS:
Prepare tater tots as instructed, in air fryer or oven. Heat oven to 450°. 
Cover the bottom of a large cast iron skillet with the cooked tater tots. 
Top with 1 1/2 cup of cheese. 
Combine the chopped adobo peppers and sauce with the prepared bbq pulled pork. Spread the pulled pork mixture on top of the tater tots, then top with the remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
Top with sour cream, ranch, pico de Gallo, guacamole, green onions, and sliced jalapeños and carrots.

Enjoy!! 😋

Hello Instagram fam! 💖 There’s some new faces around here and it’s been a while since I showed mine!

I’m Dawn, creator of Mama Harris’ Kitchen, and I’m so glad you’re here with me! In this space I share my family-friendly recipes for all occasions, whether it be a 30-minute meal for those busy weeknight dinners or a full spread for entertaining a crowd - and everything in between.

Mama Harris’ Kitchen began back in 2012, in fact it’s 8 years this month! 🥳  What started as a way to document my newfound cooking hobby while managing my “new” life as a stay-at-home wife and mom to a 1 and 3 year along with teens and preteens, and it quickly grew into what it is now - a recipe resource for busy families like mine that enjoy flavorful and comforting home-cooking using pantry staples along with fresh and local ingredients as often as possible. 

🍿Five fun facts about me:
1. I LOVE elephants! 🐘 I collect a lot of elephant items, whether it’s trinkets or  artwork, notepads etc. I love what elephants symbolize and I truly love anything elephant related.
2. I’m a total plant lady! 🌱 I have about 35 houseplants, give or take, and there’s still more on the list of wants. Plants have become such a peaceful outlet for me, and I feel that they really center me within my space. I love the element plants bring to your space and the feel of your home with them in it, and new leaves are so exciting!
3. I have seven tattoos and I have plans for about eight more. 💉 Those that know me aren’t surprised, but those that follow me here tend to find it a bit surprising. 🙃
4. I’ve been a mother for a long time, over half my life! I’ve also been a lot of different “types” of mom - teen mom, single mom, working mom, stepmom, stay at home mom, PROUD mom, military mom, mother in law - the list goes on. No matter what, motherhood looks different for everyone and there’s unique challenges and experiences each mother faces. Please be gentle with yourself! ❤️At the end of the day we’re all just trying our best!
5. I’m a bit of an introvert, and often struggle with the “social” aspect of social media. I tend to go silent sometimes, but I’m working on it.

☀️Thank you for joining me here!
