We are not fans of Ranch Dressing flavor.
Can you suggest a substitute for it in the Bacon-Wrapped Rib recipe, please?
Would a good bbq sauce w/maybe sr cream work as well
Hi Debra!
I would probably sprinkle them with Lawry’s seasoning before wrapping them if you would prefer to not use the ranch mix. Enjoy!!
I was out of ranch so I used Lemon Pepper and it was DELICOUS.
I’m going to try either McCormick’s Cajun seasoning -OR- Goya Fajita seasoning next. I use the thick cut bacon from Costco.
