BBQ Short Ribs with Garlic Butter Corn, Crispy Fries & Mac & Cheese

Serve everything hot, straight from the stove or oven for the best flavors.
Store leftover ribs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Fries are best fresh but can be reheated in an air fryer or oven at 375°F for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
Mac and cheese can be reheated with a splash of milk to maintain creaminess.
Variations
Spicy Ribs: Add cayenne pepper or chili flakes for extra heat.
Loaded Fries: Top with cheese, bacon bits, or sour cream.
Extra Creamy Mac & Cheese: Mix in cream cheese or a blend of cheeses for a richer taste.
Grilled Corn: Instead of boiling, grill the corn for a smoky flavor.
FAQ
Can I cook the ribs in a slow cooker?
Yes! Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours for fall-apart tenderness.

What’s the best BBQ sauce to use?
A smoky or honey BBQ sauce works great, but you can use your favorite brand or homemade sauce.

Can I make this meal ahead of time?
Yes! The ribs can be made a day in advance and reheated. The mac and cheese can be prepared ahead and refreshed with a little milk when reheating.
