McRib Burger

If you ask Canadian’s what their most missed menu item is from McDonald’s they are going to tell you 2 things: Pizza & the McRib. Well the McRib was a crowd favorite and something we thought would be cool to recreate at home!

Rib Ingredients

  • 2 Racks of Back Ribs (membrane removed)

  • 1/2-1 Cup Mustard

  • 1/2-3/4 Cup JamDinners Signature Seasoning

Rib BBQ Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Ketchup

  • 1/4 Cup Butter

  • 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar

  • 1 Tsp. Evoolution Red Cayenne Infused EVOO

  • 1 Tsp. Salt

  • 1 Tsp. Pepper

  • 1 Tsp. Garlic Powder

Burger Ingredients

  • 2 Long Buns

  • 1/2 White Onion, sliced

  • 2 Pickles, sliced

Rib Directions

  • Pre-heat the smoker to 180F. Peel the membrane off the ribs then lather both sides of each rack in mustard. Generously add dry rub to both sides of each rack and spray with cooking spray to set the dry rub and really help it stick to the ribs.

  • You are going to want to smoke the ribs for 5ish hours unwrapped, directly on a rack. Spritz with apple cider vinegar throughout if desired.

  • Remove the ribs, wrap in foil then bake at 225F degrees in the oven (or on the BBQ) for 2.5 hours.

  • Combine all the BBQ sauce ingredients in a small pot over medium-low heat. Ensure all ingredients are mixed well. You can leave the BBQ sauce in the pot on simmer on the stove and bring out to the smoker or BBQ each time you wish to re-apply sauce OR , once the ingredients have all come together you can transfer to a bbq sauce bowl and place on the top rack so it stays warm and provides easy access for re-applying the sauce.

  • Remove the foil, then you are going to return them to the BBQ or smoker and sauce them up directly on the BBQ. Cook for at least 30 more minutes at 225F degrees. The meat should peel back from the bones on the end and be tender enough to pull off the bone completely!

  • When the ribs are close to being finished, cut the buns and lightly toast on the top rack of the BBQ and prep the veggies.

  • Remove the ribs from the BBQ, allow to slightly cool and twist the bones out then cut into pieces that fit nicely on the bun.

  • Pull it all together and voila!
