TANGY TEXAS BBQ RIBS AND RICE

Country-style ribs are baked with a flavorful sweet and sour sauce.

4 1/2 pounds country-style pork ribs
2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) Hunt'sŪ Diced Tomatoes with Sweet Onions
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup Hunt'sŪ Ketchup
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
2 cups uncooked long-grain rice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Place ribs in a 13-inch x 9-inch baking dish. Bake, uncovered for 1 1/2 hours.

Combine remaining ingredients except rice in a medium saucepan to make BBQ sauce. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 15 minutes. Set aside; keep warm.

Drain juice from the meat pan. Pour about 2 cups of sauce over the ribs.

Cover pan loosely with foil; continue baking for 30 to 45 minutes or until ribs are tender.

Cook rice; keep warm.

Serve ribs over rice along with extra sauce.
