Oven Baked Country-Style Pork Ribs are the most meaty, tender, and succulent oven baked ribs that you’ll ever eat! This recipe is so easy to follow and make. Everyone will love these country-style ribs so much that you’ll make them again and again!!!
These Oven Baked Bone-in Country-Style Ribs are so delicious! I have to admit that this cut of pork is rather new to my kitchen. My blog has a recipe for Slow Cooker BBQ Country Style Ribs that my family loves and they’ve requested that I make this cut of meat more often. I especially love it for two reasons. The first being that it is one of the CHEAPEST cuts of meat in America. It’s economical for any family size or budget. The second being that it is the easiest cut of pork to cook producing the tenderest meat. Pork, especially pork chops or pork loin, can be tricky to cook because it dries out quickly. On the other hand, Country Style Pork Ribs cook slow, in a relatively short amount of time, within an hour or two. That being said give it a try! I really think you and your family are going to love this recipe!
INGREDIENTS TO MAKE OVEN BAKED COUNTRY-STYLE PORK RIBS

NOTES ABOUT INGREDIENTS
- Recommended Seasoning Blends- Cajun blend, Creole blend, Italian Herb blend, Smokehouse blend, Roasted Garlic & Herb blend, Garden Vegetable blend, Mesquite blend, or Montreal blend.

CAN BONELESS COUNTRY-STYLE RIBS BE USED INSTEAD OF BONE-IN?
- The answer is YES! The bone in the ribs do produce more flavor and are usually slightly cheaper than boneless. The advantage of boneless is the be able to shred the meat quickly if that is what you plan to do.

Came out awesome! I added some klausen Sauer kraut on top and WOW!grand slam!
That’s a great idea and it sounds delicious! Thank you so much for your comment. I love to hear feedback on the recipes. 🙂 Best wishes for the New Year!
Sounds good going to try it with sliced potatoes also
That’s a great idea! Any root vegetables would be delicious roasted with the ribs. YUM!
It came out just like your picture. I would take a picture too, but it’s gone now. It didn’t sit around waiting for a picture…lol. Yummy!
Today is post my comments day. I have to be honest. I didn’t think the ribs would be tender enough for my liking and I’m not keen on a rib without BBQ sauce. I’ve tried other recipes of yours and they turned out great, so I gave it a try, as is. AMAZING. Who knew I’d brag about this recipe! The meat was tender, moist, and had great flavor. A favorite for sure. I can’t believe I love a rib without BBQ sauce.
