How To Store
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can reheat the next day for another easy weeknight meal!
How To Reheat
One of my favorite Easy Meal Prep Dinner Ideas is to take my leftover ribs and reheat them in the oven the next day.
To reheat your ribs, simply preheat your oven to 250 degrees. Then slather your ribs with additional sauce and wrap them in aluminum foil, before placing them in a casserole dish.
Heat the ribs on the center rack for 25-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature of your ribs is 140 degrees.
