Here’s a slow cooker recipe I tried out on my family on one of our nights of kid-sport’s activities. Ribs are my son’s favorite, so I knew he’d be super happy with this one. The sauce is a little sweet because of the apple butter- completely appealing to the kiddos. And if you use Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce, well… everyone loves that one, right? It’s our favorite. You’ll need to plan ahead : marinating the ribs in their spices overnight. Then just pop them into your slow cooker in the morning!
This recipe comes from a new book called, The Classic Slow Cooker- Best-Loved Family Recipes to Make Fast and Cook Slow by Judy Hannemann (BakeatMidnight.com). I’m always drawn to a slow cooker cookbook because I have a desire to find as many easy slow cooker recipes as possible to feed my family. The slow cooker makes dinner easy on busy days- and I have a lot of those! Here are some recipes in the book that I have bookmarked to try: Hot Jalapeno and Chile Popper Dip, Cheeseburger Soup, Chicken with Creamy Mushroom Rice, Pork Chop Stroganoff, Ginger Beef with Mandarin Oranges, Five Cheese Lasagna, Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole, Donut Bread Pudding and Slow Cooker Brownies. A good slow cooker recipe is a KEEPER. This is a good book to have in your collection!
After the ribs are slow cooked with a small amount of spices, the sauce (BBQ sauce + apple butter) is added in… and extra sauce is warmed to serve on top too. I’m happy to have found another “keeper” slow cooker recipe!
