steps
- 1.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- 2.
In a small bowl, combine BBQ sauce, bourbon, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
- 3.
Place the ribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil and brush both sides generously with the marinade.
- 4.
Wrap the ribs tightly in the foil, creating a packet to seal in the flavors.
- 5.
Grill the ribs over indirect heat for approximately 2-3 hours, or until tender.
- 6.
While the ribs are grilling, boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until fork-tender. Drain well.
- 7.
Mash the potatoes with the milk and butter until smooth and creamy.
- 8.
Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese, half of the crumbled bacon, and half of the sliced green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 9.
Preheat your oven to broil.
- 10.
Remove the ribs from the foil packet and brush them with more BBQ sauce.
- 11.
Place the ribs on a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the sauce is caramelized and slightly charred.
- 12.
Serve the ribs alongside generous scoops of loaded mashed potatoes, garnished with the remaining cheese, bacon, and green onions.
