BBQ ribs don't have to be labourious or time consuming, just stick them in your slow cooker first thing in the morning and be rewarded with tender, fall-off-the-bone meat when you come home
No BBQ? No problem! Turn your pork ribs ultra tender in a slow cooker
Still lamenting my lack of BBQ, I got creative and decided to make ribs in my roaster-oven-style slow cooker for dinner the other night. First thing in the morning I put two racks of pork ribs in the slow cooker, generously topped them with BBQ sauce, and left them to cook all day. About nine hours later they were ooey, gooey and Tony-Roma-tender.
I served the ribs with my favourite roasted potatoes and my mom’s easy, delicious Caesar salad recipe – and, of course, a nice cold beer.
I recently had a great question from a reader about serving sizes. As I explained to her, for nearly all of my recipes (minus anything with seafood because it doesn’t reheat well) the serving size is 4 (2 people for dinner and leftovers for 2 lunches). But it’s a bit skewed because my husband is a big man with a big appetite. For clarity’s sake, I will forthwith include serving sizes based on Canada’s Food Guide and with that information you can tweak the recipe as you see fit.
Based on Canada’s Food Guide recommendation of 75 g (2 ½ oz) of pork per serving, this meal serves about 8.
