Savory Pork Ribs...A MUST TRY!! EASY Crockpot Recipe

Most people think ribs are expensive when the truth is, they're cheaper than ANY meal you make with hamburger meat!! Boneless pork ribs are about $1.99/lb. Hamburger meat runs about the same for poor quality and much more for good quality, and then you have to add ingredients to it to make it a meal. So, ribs really are an inexpensive, hearty, filling and perfectly delicious meal. This is one of Shawn's FAVORITES, if not his absolute favorite!! You really have to try this. Super easy!!!! We make this a couple of Sundays a month and a few weekdays.


Ingredients:
Boneless Pork Ribs (I've used bone-in, whatever you can get), as much as your family will eat


BBQ Sauce: (double if making more than about 2 lbs of meat)
1 cup ketchup
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup vinegar (any, I use white)
garlic
Mrs. Dash (quite a lot!)

Directions:
Mix all ingredients for sauce, seasoning with a little garlic and plenty, plenty of Mrs. Dash. Place ribs (not frozen) in a large crock pot and drizzle with 1/2 of the sauce. Put remaining sauce in the fridge. Cook on low for 8-10 hours OR high for 4-6 hours until meat is fall-apart tender. Before serving, heat oven on BROIL at about 400 degrees. With tongs or a slotted spoon scoop ribs out of the crock pot, leaving all drippings and sauce behind, and place in a 13x9 dish. Drizzle ribs well with remaining, pre-made BBQ sauce. Broil on center rack (or one just higher) in the oven until sauce boils on the top and caramelizes. Serve immediately. YUMMY!!!
