Absolutely flawless, fall-apart ribs. The key is browning them in a hot skillet before letting them simmer away in the crockpot with the sweet, homemade sauce.

ingredients

1 tablespoon oil
3 pounds boneless country style pork ribs
1 large onion, halved and sliced 1/4-inch thick

Sauce

1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup tomato ketchup
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 dash black pepper
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon celery seed

directions

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ribs and cook, turning as needed to brown on all sides. Place the browned ribs in the crock pot. Top the ribs with the sliced onion.

In a bowl or measuring cup, combine the sauce ingredients and mix well. Pour evenly over the ribs and onions.

Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 7-8 hours or until the ribs are tender and cooked through.

  1. Anonymous REVIEW:

    Both components of this recipe were outstanding - the homemade sauce and the cooking method. I wasn't sure about the celery seed but it was good in the sauce. I also liked that the ribs were browned first in oil because they had much better texture than some other crock pot rib recipes I've tried. Definitely a winner of a recipe!
