Crock Pot Ribs

We really like tender, fall off the bone ribs as compared to charred ones that require a lot of chewing.  My mom has it down to an art using a crockpot.

Put small potatoes in the bottom of your crockpot and lay the ribs on them.  Add just enough water to cover it all (obviously will vary by size of crockpot and amount of ingredients) and add seasoned salt and pepper.

IF it were me, you know I would add a couple of TB of butter in at this point too.  It is however, not necessary...

Cook on high for about 8 hours.

Remove the ribs and place them in a pan lined with foil.  Spread BBQ sauce on them and broil them in your oven for about 5-10 minutes.  This will get them a bit crispier on the outside, more like the grill, and carmelize the sugars in the BBQ sauce.  It is a nice process especially for those of us in an apartment with no grill!

We served them up with the roasted potatoes and cornbread cakes. 

What better thing to come home to than ribs?

Happy crafting!
