I got this recipe from all recipes.com here.
Since this was my first time making ribs in a slow cooker I went with the first recipe that looked decent. This sauce was very good. Since I made these on Saturday I’ve read a couple other recipes and this is the sauce I’ll try next time to see if it has a little more kick to it.
These ingredients come from Taste of Home Magazine ~ Tasty Pork Ribs ~ Feb/March 2008 Recipe by Michelle Rominger…

Oops! I don’t see anything green on the plate. Can anyone say COMFORT FOOD?
Photobucket is holding my photos hostage from 2007-2015 and replacing them with an ugly black and grey squares demanding money to release them, so frustrating.
With busier and busier schedules, it’s time to dust off my crock pot – thanks for a great reminder!
Funny, I just put ribs out this morning. It’s to late in the day to go the crock pot route this time, but I’m definately going to give it a try next time. So you brown the ribs in a skillet first? That’s a neat trick … I never have liked the way meat comes out of the crock pot kind of gray. About your new BBQ Sauce … if you add Cajun seasonings, it’ll definately have a little more kick to it!
AMEN to comfort food. The Taste of Home sauce sounds wonderful. I’ve never tried ribs at home so I think I will get some and have them ready when my husband comes home from this week’s business trip. Thanks for sharing.
MMMMmmmmm – absolutely yummy! I am into slow cooker recipes lately — I will give this a try!
I know my husband would go crazy over this… I’m strictly vegetarian but my husband is a meatatarian… lol… so I’m keeping this close by!
Thanks…
Hope your Dad is doing well!
