This BBQ Portobello Grilled Cheese with Caramelized Onions has the earthy flavor of portobello mushrooms, the sweetness of caramelized onions, and the sourness of barbecue sauce. It's made with melted cheese, crispy grilled bread, and caramelized onions.

Ingredients: 4 large portobello mushrooms. 2 tablespoons olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. 1 large onion, thinly sliced. 2 tablespoons butter. 8 slices of your favorite bread. 8 slices of sharp cheddar cheese. 1/4 cup barbecue sauce.

Instructions: Preheat grill to medium heat. Brush portobello mushrooms with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill mushrooms for 4-5 minutes per side, until tender. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Assemble sandwiches by placing a slice of cheese on each slice of bread. Top 4 slices of bread with grilled portobello mushrooms and caramelized onions. Drizzle barbecue sauce over the mushrooms and onions. Top with remaining cheese slices and bread slices to form sandwiches. Heat a skillet over medium heat and place sandwiches in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until bread is golden brown and cheese is melted. Slice sandwiches in half and serve hot.

The smokey and sweet flavors in these Smokin' Baby Got Back Ribs work so well together. The dry rub gives the meat more depth, and the tangy glaze makes the whole thing taste better. Get ready for a great time at your next barbecue!

Ingredients: 2 racks baby back ribs. 1/4 cup brown sugar. 2 tablespoons paprika. 1 tablespoon black pepper. 1 tablespoon salt. 1 tablespoon chili powder. 1 tablespoon garlic powder. 1 tablespoon onion powder. 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper. 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar. 1/4 cup Dijon mustard. 1/4 cup ketchup. 1/4 cup honey. Wood chips for smoking.

Instructions: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor penetration. In a bowl, mix brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, salt, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to create the dry rub. Rub the dry rub generously over both sides of the ribs. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes to marinate. Preheat your smoker to 225F 107C and add wood chips for smoking flavor. Place the ribs on the smoker grates and smoke for 3 hours, maintaining a steady temperature. In a separate bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, ketchup, and honey to create the glaze. After 3 hours, brush the ribs with the glaze and continue smoking for an additional 1-2 hours or until the ribs are tender. Remove the ribs from the smoker and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the Smokin' Baby Got Back Ribs with your favorite sides and enjoy!
