Crockpot Ribs


My sister has always had a dislike for meat... except for the ribs my mom used to make!



I have a feeling she liked them because they are soooo tender.

See, my sister has a "strange" condition ... she doesn't have some of her adult teeth. They just never developed. So, she went through a period of time when she had her baby teeth pulled and really didn't have many teeth.  Needless to say, chewing meat was out of the picture.

But these... the meat just fell right off the bones.



Oh, so tender.

YUM.

My mom makes these when ribs go on sale -- it's an easy meal to make.  Take the ribs out of the freezer and boil them.  Then crockpot 'em for 6-8 hours and presto/chango -- you have a delicious dinner.


Mom's Crockpot Ribs - Mom

2-3 lbs. ribs (boneless/bone-in, either is fine)
BBQ Sauce (of your choosing), enough to cover the ribs


Boil the ribs in a large pot of water for 30 minutes (this boils the fat out of them).

Place the ribs in a crockpot, cover with BBQ sauce and 1/4 C water.

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.



Serve topped with additional sauce --



Enjoy!

  1. Thought I would share a little tidbit. I have made these ribs this way for a couple of years. However, when I boil them, I add garlic powder, salt and black pepper to the water to start the flavoring process. Maybe it doesn't make a difference, but I know we always really liked them.

  3. I tried ribs in the crockpot for the first time this year and was really happy! they were SO tender - fell right off the bone! I baked mine first instead of boiling. Here is the way I tried it - http://scraphappychelsey.blogspot.com/2010/01/slow-cooker-baby-back-ribs.html

  8. I guess I'm not a big meat person either, because I'm embarrassed to admit that I've never even attempted to make ribs in my entire life. These look so good and so easy....maybe I'll let my husband make them. :)

  9. Just wanted to say I know someone who didn't ever develop adult teeth. She had a mouth full of baby teeth as an adult.

    Love the recipes!
