Country Style Pork Ribs in the Crock Pot

If you are headed out for the day (7-8 hours) and want to let your crock pot cook dinner for you, here is an easy recipe for Country Style Pork Ribs. They turn out moist and oh so tasty!

Take 15 minutes to whip up some sides right before you sit down to eat and it makes dinner too easy.

I usually have everything, but the meat, on hand - makes for a quick-to-prepare meal. We enjoyed these for dinner a few nights ago, with Caesar salad, mashed taters and corn,  after a long day away from home. I hope you will get to enjoy them soon too!


Dinner is served!


Country Style Pork Ribs in the Crock Pot

Ingredients:
3 to 4 pounds boneless pork country-style ribs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, halved, thinly sliced
1/2 cup apple juice
1 bottle (16 - 18 oz) barbecue sauce - Sweet Baby Ray's is our favorite!


Directions:
Lightly grease the crock pot. Wash pork and trim fat. Pat dry with paper towel.
Put sliced onions in the bottom of the slow cooker, then place the pork on top.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, brown sugar and minced garlic.
Turn pork ribs to coat all pieces. Pour apple juice evenly over the pork.
Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours.
Drain liquids from pork. Pour barbecue sauce over the pork and stir slightly.
Cover and cook on LOW for 1 hour longer.
(I think I cooked mine only 30 min longer as it was time to EAT!)

Thank you About.com for a great recipe!

The sides for this meal are limitless. Just think Southern and you will be fine  ;o)


Have a blessed weekend!




And along the lines of thinking Southern... here are some pics of our Southern Summer Living!


We paint, shirtless (at least the kids do anyways :o)


We pick peppers in 100 degree weather.
Thanks AESL for letting us enjoy your garden delicacies!


We visit the animals at First Monday Trade Days.
(stinky goats!)


And when the heat gets TOO HOT,
we cool off with a fruit bar and a dip in the pool!


Who knew a water hose would provide hours of summer fun!


We cool off and clean off at the same time,
with shaving cream!!!
