Sous Vide BBQ Country Ribs

 Oh my, these are so tender and good.  You do need to plan on this meal, because they need to cook for a long time in water bath.  Thankfully, it takes just a little bit to prepared and then once it's in the water bath, you leave it alone until it's ready to be removed.   BTW, wrapping bacon around each rib makes them even better.  I like to make my own dry rub and bbq sauce, but you can buy your favorite from the store to make it easier.
