  1. snezzlepop REVIEW:

    Beef short ribs are my favorite and this is the simplest way to do them. I've tried this recipe with browning the ribs first and don't really notice any difference in texture so don't let anyone tell you have to brown them to have them turn out good (someone told me that - and obviously it's not true).

    Delish! Best Rib's I have ever had! I added a few pinch's of brown sugar and garlic powder as well

    My first run at doing ribs in a slow cooker... As a Texan, this almost seems like cheating... BUT, on low, for 6 hours and maybe 10 minutes, these ribs were ideally tender and done just right. I added five or six cloves of crushed garlic to the onions and ribs in the slow cooker, and added some dried rosemary and some Adams Reserve Southwest Rub to the BBQ sauce/chili/flour mix. Very tasty, and couldn't be any simpler. I used Head Country Hickory BBQ sauce, which is a favorite of mine.

    Loved this recipe and its the first time I have done ribs in the slow cooker! A big hit with everyone and will make it again soon
