Sparerib leftovers

[medpedspouse]

We hosted DH's clinic party at our house and one of the nurse's husband brought a Flinstones worth of ribs he smoked. They were great but we already had the meal provided so not much got eaten. They would not take the leftovers home and now I am stuck with a buttload of ribs. What can I do with it? Thought about pulling the meat off the bone (to make tacos, soup, stir fry) but that seems like a tedious process. Is there an easier way? Would it be better if I warm them up again - Im afraid to do so for fear of the meat drying out more. Is it like chicken that I can put in a pot with water??? You - see - I AM clueless! Googled ideas and most people say they never have leftovers.

Put in the crockpot with BBQ sauce (or other) and the meat will fall off the bone...then use for sandwiches! Yum! You can freeze leftovers (once off the bone) and reheat. We've reheated ribs with no prob drying out!

Not sure if it would work the same, but I think Giada has a recipe for spare rib lasagna rollups.

Crockpot idea is great but I'd have to do it in batches because when I said I had a butt load, I meant it. Off to check Giada.

We just reheat them in the microwave, but I haven't really come up with a great way to use them in other recipes. Sandwiches are probably the best option. I started a similar thread several months ago, and there was a suggestion for stew, but I didn't get around to trying that. Sounds good, though.

I can think of all kinds of things to do with the meat just don't know the easiest way to get said meat off the bone. Look at Giada's recipe.http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/g...ipe/index.html Mine are already cooked but looks like if I put them in a large stockpot with beef broth, I may be able to get the meat of easily. What do you think? I could then make a taco soup of sorts since I will already have the beef broth base??
