Desired number of pork spare rib racks
2 1/2 to 3 cups of your favorite BBQ sauce per rack
I don't think there is such a thing as too much sauce. Last time I made these I had about 3 cups [I didn't measure] per rack, didn't grill, and had about 1/2 cup of sauce in the bottom of the Tupperware when the ribs were gone.
Prepare aluminum foil by folding two pieces together to make one larger piece and place on a baking sheet. Place one rack of ribs on the foil, pour sauce over ribs. Repeat with remaining racks. (I would do no more than 3 racks per group, depending on how much you want to make and how big your foil is.) If you are only doing one rack, you can cut it in half and stack the pieces on top of each other. Bring edges of foil up over ribs and secure. You want to prevent your sauce from escaping. You can always double foil too.
Bake at 300 degrees for 4 - 5 hours. (Usually I end up cooking for 4 1/2 hours.) If you prefer to have a little crunchy layer on your ribs, you can throw on the BBQ grill for about 5 - 10 minutes. If you do this, baste the ribs in the sauce to help keep them moist. These are fall off the bone, melt in your mouth delicious out of the oven. I also don't see why you couldn't throw these in the crock pot if you preferred. Especially if you were only going to do one rack at a time. Just cut them to fit.
If you are really ambitious, you can make your own BBQ sauce, but I just used the Famous Dave's sauce I got at Sam's Club where I also got the ribs and my husband couldn't stop telling me how good they were. We cooked one rack and I put the others into freezer bags with the sauce and stuck them in the freezer for another day when I want gourmet taste with mac-n-cheese effort.

I made these in my crock pot yesterday and they only took about 4 1/2 hours on low. I had defrosted my ribs and sauce in the fridge overnight. They were still fall of the bone great! I did add about 1/2 cup of water to the sauce because I was afraid of it burning, but there was plenty in there and I spooned it over the ribs a couple times while they were in there. SO easy!!!
