Dr Pepper Ribs (Recipe 26 of 150)

This recipe is just meh to me. It sounded good, but wasn't something I was excited about. In fact, it was so meh I don't really have anything to say about it. 

It smelled fantastic as it was cooking, but when do ribs not smell good? There. I found something good to say about them.
