Live-saver Delicious Slow Cooked Ribs
I had to be away for the weekend leaving my two little ones home with Grandma. I tried making the meals in advanced so that Grandma could concentrate of dealing with my high-energy all-consuming children! This recipe is unbelievably easy. I prepped this while feeding my family breakfast, then packed and was on the road an hour later! It cooked all day for Grandma to just heat up left over risotto and serve. Grandma and my 3year old and 18 month old raved about the ribs. A must for every family…make, cook during day and serve.
I made extra risotto the night before so they just heated that up and served with the ribs.
- Approx 3 or so-pounds of spareribs.
I cut them into rib portions and place for a quick broil on the broiler rack in the oven (approx 10-15 mins).
Place the ribs into the slowcooker and pour the below mixture over the ribs:
- 2 cups beef or chicken broth
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce (or ketchup)
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- pepper/salt
- diced onions or dehydrated onions
Cover slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours. I have made this in a crockpot slow cooked in oven at 275 degrees.
Super with rice, egg noodles, risotto, mash potatoes, pack the leftovers for a picnic, serve to a large group just double or triple recipe…easy and delicious!
