Oh, country-style short ribs. You underrated, yet delicious, cut of porky goodness. Often found in the bargain section of our local supermarket butcher, we can't help but grab a package almost every time we walk by. They are typically an inexpensive cut because of their higher fat content and random scattering of bones (you can buy boneless for a little more per lb). Lucky for us, we've got a Traeger and a super simple recipe that can turn these humble ribs into a meal that will not only satisfy, but leave you hankering for more.

Liberally season the ribs with the Pork & Poultry Rub.
Start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open for 4-5 minutes to establish the fire. Place the seasoned ribs directly on the grill grate, close the lid, and smoke for 1 hour.

Turn the temperature setting on the grill to 275 degrees. Dump half of the sliced onions into the bottom of a large Dutch oven. Remove the ribs from the grill and layer on top of the onions in the Dutch oven. Top with the remaining onions and barbecue sauce.
