  2. Season both sides of the pork ribs generously with the Memphis BBQ Magic Rub, pressing it into the meat to adhere.

  4. While the ribs are cooking, grill the artisan bread slices until lightly toasted. Rub with garlic and drizzle with olive oil. Set aside.
  5. Grill the smoked sausage until slightly charred and heated through. Remove from the grill and set aside.
  6. In a large pot or grill safe pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add corn, potatoes, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook for 10 12 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
  7. Assemble the Sizzling Southern Grill Dinner by placing a rack of ribs on a serving platter, followed by grilled artisan bread, smoked sausage, corn, potatoes, and coleslaw. Serve with additional Memphis BBQ Magic Sauce on the side.

Chef’s Insight

Allow the flavors to meld together by letting the cooked ribs rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes
