These ribs are really good. They are a standard in our household. The original recipe from Beverly Carson on Food.com was way too sweet for my liking and I like to slow cook ours much longer than she does so we have switched up a few things to make it work for our family.

These will satisfy any meat lover in your family and are a really great easy entertaining dish for a crowd.

    3. Place in baking dish. Reserve 1/2 cup sauce. Cover ribs with all of the remaining sauce. Cover tightly with foil making sure no air escapes.
    4. Bake 3 hours. Uncover. If the sticky sauce is desired and ribs have released a significant amount of liquid and are swimming in it, drain off some liquid and brush on reserved BBQ sauce. Broil on high for a couple of minutes turning if desired.
    5. Serve immediately with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and a salad.

    • Hey Linda!

      I normally cook these in the oven like the recipe details but you could definitely do it in the slow cooker. I normally do all day (8-9 hours) on low. They are good as is like that but if you want them crisped up you will need to remove them and broil them in a pan. I will often do that and pour off the sauce to a saucepan and cook it down to more of a saucey consistency. The ribs release quite a bit of liquid when they cook so the sauce is pretty thin without doing that.

      Hope that helps!
