Ingredients
- Pork ribs so meaty and marbled they could win a hog-calling contest at the county fair
- Corn on the cob sweeter than a Georgia peach and yellower than a school bus in spring
- Baked beans that bubble like a gossip session at Sunday supper, rich and saucy
- White bread slices soft as a feather pillow and perfect for soppin' up every drop
- Butter golden and creamy like it was churned by angels in overalls
Directions
- Fire up that cast-iron skillet hotter than a July sidewalk and slap them pork ribs in with a sizzle that sounds like applause from the back forty, lettin' em brown up real nice while you holler at the dog to quit beggin'.
- Flip them ribs like you're dancin' the two-step, seasonin' with nothin' but salt and pepper till they got that crusty edge that makes your mouth water like a leaky spigot.
- Shuck that corn faster than a possum up a tree and drop the cobs right beside the ribs so they soak up all the drippin's and turn golden like a harvest moon.
- Crack open the baked beans and pour em into a corner of the skillet, stirrin' slow like you're mixin' up trouble at the family reunion so they get all warm and bubbly.
- Slather a big ol' pat of butter on each ear of corn, watchin' it melt and drip like sweet summer rain while the ribs keep on crisping.
- Toast them white bread slices in the leftover butter till they're golden and crunchy, ready to sop up every last bit of bean juice like a true Southern gentleman.
- Check the ribs by givin' em a gentle poke, makin' sure they're tender enough to fall off the bone but not so done they turn into shoe leather from the back porch.
- Pull everything off the heat and let it rest a minute while you tell a joke about a rooster and a tractor to keep the crowd entertained.
- Plate it all up on a big wooden board with the ribs front and center, corn standin' tall like soldiers, and beans spooned generous on the side.
- Call the family to the table with a yell that echoes across the holler and watch everybody dive in like it's the last supper before the county fair opens.
