crock pot notes
Crock pots/slow cookers all heat differently. There is no standard among manufacturers. Cooking times are suggested guidelines based on our testing. Please adjust cooking times and temps to work with your brand and model of slow cooker.nutrition data
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

I was skeptical of ribs in the crock pot because we love ribs on the grill. I decided to bite the bullet and just try them since I was going to be busy with party festivities for the 4th of july. I had doubled the recipe thankfully because these were gobbled up quickly and everyone asked if there were more! Next time I'll find someone to borrow me an extra slow cooker and make two double batches.

This is the best barbecued ribs recipe I've ever made. I will definitely make it again and again. I used Bob Evan's Wildfire, Smoky Sweet Barbecue Sauce. Simply outstanding.

I first hit this site today for a ribs recipe that I could work off of. I ended up following the recipe to a T just to see what I was up against and was completely blown away. I am a big fan of ribs and these are the bomb-diggity! peppery smokey sweet. I used thick and tangy open pit to balance what I thought would be a rather smokey mix. Very tasty...
