I usually throw pork ribs in the crock with a bottle of barbeque sauce (I don't make my own, sorry) and cook all day. It is the easiest thing in the world, especially if I remembered to ask the butcher to cut them in half for me (so they easily fit in the crock). If the ribs are not frozen I cut off some of the fat.

Some time ago a recipe for Asian Spiced Pork Ribs was posted in this tribe. I am here to tell you that they totally rock and I would advise doing a serach for them. Because you actually have to mix the spices (gasp!) and brown the ribs it's a little more labor intensive than bottle-and-crock ribs, but they are worth it!

I'm a Southern girl, so I do the boneless pork country style ribs. They're much leaner these days than they used to be, so they don't get too greasy. I sear the ribs in a frying pan first rubbed with a little soy sauce and sprinkled lightly with garlic salt and pepper, then put them in the crockpot with, believe it or not, a bottled sauce that a friend turned me on to. It's called Montgomery Inn, I think they have a website. I know you can find the sauce at Kroger stores here in the DFW area. I use this sauce because it tastes exactly like the stuff my grandmother used to make from scratch - just enough spicy and sweet combined, and not too heavy. I pour an entire 12-oz. bottle over the meat and cook on low for 10-12 hours for about 4 lbs of pork ribs. Tastes just like grandma's, and soooo much easier.

~Teriyaki Pork Ribs~ :

1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup soya sauce
1/2 cup tomato juice
3/4 cup brown sugar *sugar can be increased or decreased to taste*
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 1/2 pounds ribs

Place ribs in crock, combine all ingredients in seperate bowl. Pour over ribs, cook on low for 8 hours. **This recipe is even better if you make the sauce/marinade, place ribs and sauce/marinade in gallon ziplock bag and marinade in fridge overnight. In morning, pour into crock and cook. Very easy and very good.

I did it last week. Really good. Meat fell off bones before we could eat...I just added a bit of water. Cut up some red potatoes and of course I use Tony Cacheres creole seasoning on EVERYTHING. It was great. I am a horrible cook but since I only use my crockpot anymore my family is actually liking my cooking. weird. can't go wrong with the crockpot!
