Crock Pot Ribs



Yes, you can make perfect ribs in your crock pot.  This is not actually a recipe, it's more about method. You can use St. Louis ribs, baby back ribs, boneless ribs, country ribs.  Whatever suits your mood (or whatever is on sale!)  This is just a guideline. I leave the choices on this one up to you!






First, season the ribs.  Any combo of seasoning will do!  I use Salt, Pepper, garlic powder, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, paprika, ground ginger, and dry mustard powder.  The flavor combinations are endless!

Next, prepare the crock pot.  Take some aluminum foil and loosely crumble to make some balls.  Place the balls in the bottom of the crockpot.  Pour in 1/2 cup of some liquid  (Vodka, tequila, whiskey, scotch, beer, coke).  Put the ribs on the top of the foil balls.  Cover and cook on either low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.

Carefully remove the ribs from the crock pot and put on a foil lined cookie sheet.  Brush the ribs with your favorite Barbeque Sauce.  My friend owns a gift shop (Sweet Myrtle in Greencastle, PA), and  she sells the most amazing peach whiskey and the most amazing roasted apple barbeque sauce.  If you have a local supplier, they are the best.  I cannot make any better.  Place the ribs under the broiler to quickly brown them.  Carefully flip, brush sauce on this side, and return to the broiler to allow this side to brown.  Boom, you have awesome ribs!
