CROCK POT SPARE RIBS

 

It’s rodeo time here and everyone has been talking about BBQ this and BBQ that. So that got me craving some BBQ spare ribs. Then I had one of those ahha moments when I thought could this be done in the crockpot? After a thorough google search I found a recipe from Robin Miller on the Food Network. It looked so easy I decided to give it a try.The ribs did come out very tasty and the meat just feel off of the bones. My only thing is they didn't have that BBQ flavor because of the tomato sauce so I just had extra BBQ sauce and dunked the meat in it. I think next time I will try a different homemade BBQ sauce, maybe the one from my BBQ pulled pork recipe would be good. Overall I was very pleased with the ribs and my house smelled wonderful!



"OOP! I forgot the brown sugar and red wine vinegar in the picture"

 

INGREDIENTS:

6 lbs. of spare ribs

28 oz. can of tomato sauce

1/3 cup of brown sugar

2 tbs. of red wine vinegar 

1 tbs. of Worcestershire sauce 

1 tbs.  of soy sauce

1 tbs. of chili powder

2 tsp. of cumin

1 tsp. paprika

2 tsp. of garlic

½ tsp. of salt

Pinch of cayenne (optional)

 

DIRECTIONS:
Spray the crock pot with PAM. Cut spare ribs up and place in crock pot. Then in a large bowl mix all the other ingredients together. Pour over the ribs and cover. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. How easy is that?

I was so excited about my BBQ spare ribs that I invited my friend Katie who is a rib connoisseur to try them out and give me a second opinion. I think the empty plate and the smile on her face says it all.
