Short Ribs

Short Ribs (Slow-Cooker)

  • 3-5 pounds short  ribs, cut into serving sizes (single or multiple ribs)
  • 12 oz bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce

In the morning, put 1/4″ water (or hard cider, wine, root beer, etc.) in the bottom of the slow cooker.  Arrange one layer of short ribs (1/3 of the ribs) on the bottom and cover it with 1/3 of the BBQ sauce.  Repeat twice to make 3 layers of short ribs.

Since short ribs vary considerably in thickness, you may need to use two layers with 1/2 of the BBQ sauce each time.

Cook 8 to 10 hours.

Since short ribs vary considerably in fat, check near the end to see if more water is needed to keep it from drying out.

Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
