For a richer, deeper flavor, sear the ribs in a hot skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. This will create a beautiful crust and enhance the overall taste. If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the ribs from the slow cooker after cooking and whisk 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir the mixture into the slow cooker juices and cook on high for 15-20 minutes, or until thickened. Serve these delectable ribs with creamy mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.

Dec 1, 2023This recipe is a lifesaver! So easy to throw together on a busy weekday morning, and the ribs are always fall-off-the-bone tender.
