Head Pitmaster Shannon Snell brings Sonny’s BBQ to the TODAY show and brings two creations made for summer straight to your oven. Get ready for Shannon’s BBQ recipes: Smoked Mac & Cheese and Smoked Baby Back Ribs.
Shannon Snell has spent years mastering the low-and-slow techniques that define Sonny’s. For the TODAY show, he’s doing something bold: showing the whole country that you don’t need a smoker to make real BBQ magic. Just your oven, a few wood chips, and Sonny’s flavors doing what they do best.
Below, you’ll find the two recipes Shannon is making on national television: Sweet and Tangy Baby Back Ribs and Baked n’ Smoked Mac and Cheese. Hit the print button on each to take them home with you.
Recipe 1: Sweet & Tangy Smoked Baby Back Ribs
Fall-off-the-bone tender, wrapped in a homemade sweet BBQ glaze with a punch of orange blossom honey and apple cider vinegar. The secret? A foil-wrap mid-cook that locks in all that smoky, buttery goodness.
Recipe 2: Baked & Smoked Mac and Cheese
Say cheese times three: sharp cheddar, white cheddar, and smoked gouda. It’s pulled together with a silky cream sauce, a hint of smoked paprika, and a bubbling, golden-brown crust that earns every bite.
