One of my favorite cuts of pork – beats out bacon, too.
Oh, and these aren’t ribs after all. They are cuts from the shoulder of a porker. If you see any bones in there, those are from the shoulder blade bone region. This will be why some of these cuts have bones, and many don’t. Some cuts of this can be very fatty, but others indeed less. Do look at the meat you pick up! They are hard (not impossible) to overcook. They do benefit a lot from “low and slow”, but they are also great on the BBQ.
I had a batch of small bell peppers, so I used one red and one green. The onion came from my garden.

Country-style ribs over bacon? Not sure about that, Diann 😄 This sounds good! I will give it a try on pork tenderloins; that’s all I have.
