The genius of this recipe is the first step – roasting ribs in the oven. This removes fat and liquid that would otherwise cause soupy results in the crockpot.
Use any sauce (I like 1 C. ketchup, 1 C. Stubb’s barbecue sauce, 2 T. brown sugar, 1 t. Worcestershire, and Tabasco hot sauce to taste.) The original sauce recipe (which I’ve tried) isn’t sharp or hot enough for our tastes. We use boneless beef chuck country ribs, 2 lbs. or more. Stir once during cooking time so ribs don’t stick to sides and burn. To thicken the sauce a bit, put the crockpot on High, with the lid ajar, during the last half hour.
An easy and delicious way to prepare tender barbecued ribs without the barbecue,
