May is National Barbecue Month and here is the meal to celebrate barbecue. My favorite variety meal from the AmeriQue is country style pork ribs, butterfly pork chops, chicken, and baked beans. This meal is done all at once. When you are having a get together and want to serve a variety of food this is the way to go.

The beans are prepared in an aluminum pan with our Spicy Barbecue Sauce, because our sauce has all the ingredients that you would use for baked beans. Season your ribs, pork chops, and chicken to the flavors you enjoy – you could even do a mixture of our Spicy Chicken Rub and RibRub on all of them and be done with seasoning in a few minutes.

Put the pan of beans on the top shelf of the AmeriQue, on next shelf the country style pork ribs, on the third shelf is butterfly pork chops, and the fourth shelf is the chicken breasts. Smoke-cook everything for 3-1/2 hours at 225 degrees and use about 3 to 4 ounces of hickory wood.

Here are some choices of sides to add or use them all: coleslaw, potato salad, or cucumber and onion salad. Enjoy National Barbecue Month!
