Ribs make great leftovers

I love to cook things in the crockpot because you don't have to do anything with it. You just add the ingredients and go! Last Saturday, I had put some ribs in the crockpot. I threw in some spices, garlic cloves, and onions along with it. My husband and his friends were hanging out that afternoon, and they complimented me on it. They asked, "What is that wonderful smell?" And I told them ribs. So I invited them over for dinner that night.

The ribs were so tender with the BBQ sauce on them, that they literally fell off the bone. They were absolutely amazing. This recipe can't be found anywhere else, so check it out here!

Brandi's homestyle ribs

Ingredients:

1-2 lbs of bone-in pork ribs (The ones I managed to get were meaty, and I used about 6 of them)
1 bottle of BBQ sauce
2 onions
1 tsp salt
2 tsp ground black pepper
1 container of pork rub
1 tsp of meat tenderizer
4 cloves of garlic
1 tsp ground white pepper (if you do not have it, don't worry about it)

Directions:

1. Make sure the ribs are thawed. Dice up the onions and cloves of garlic.

2. In a small bowl, combine salt, both peppers, and meat tenderizer. Mix well with a spoon.

3. In a large bowl, put in the ribs. If they are separated, this will work better. Sprinkle the pork rub on it until evenly distributed. ***You do NOT have to use the whole container of spice rub. Maybe a 1/4 of it or so. Just enough to have the rub blended on the ribs.

4. Pour salt and pepper mixture over ribs, and combine well.

5. In a crockpot, combine ribs, onions, and garlic. Add about 1 1/2 cups water. Cook on low 7 to 8 hours. If water starts to evaporate, add a little more so the ribs get tender.

6. At about the 7th hour, drain about half of the grease and water out of hte crockpot. Add half of the BBQ sauce. About 15 minutes til it's done, add the rest of the BBQ sauce.

You now have ribs that will be amazing. You can eat them either as pulled pork sndwiches, or by itself with a few side dishes. Some side dishes that compliment this dish include mashed potatoes, corn bread, and mac and cheese.

I recently visited the FoodNetwork.com website. They have some amazing recipes of course. One of my favorites is the crockpot webpage and their blogger. There's lots of recipes that you can try, and give feedback on. I posted a few comments about crockpot cooking on there. I noticed that crockpot cooking is never going out of style because it is easy and effortless. A lot of chefs are creating new recipes that involve crockery cooking. They are coming up with a lot of different recipes, such as soups and stews. I consider their section of crockery cooking to be a top blog.

This is such an awesome recipe, I had to blog about it on facebook. Not only do you get to eat ribs, but you get to eat the leftovers as BBQ pulled pork sandwiches! What could be better?
