Slow Cooker Barbecue Ribs

Total Time: 8 hrs 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 8 hrs

Ingredients

Servings: 8
4 lbs lamb baby back ribs
salt and pepper
2 cups ketchup
1 cup chili sauce
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
4 tablespoons vinegar
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
1 dash hot sauce

Recipe

1 1. preheat oven to 400*f.
2 2. season ribs with salt and pepper. place in a shallow baking pan. brown in oven 15 minutes. turn over, and brown another 15 minutes; drain fat.
3 3. in a medium bowl, mix together the ketchup, chili sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, oregano, worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and salt and pepper. place ribs in slow cooker. pour sauce over ribs, and turn to coat.
4 4. cover, and cook on low 6 to 8 hours, or until ribs are tender.
5 my note: the genius of this recipe is the first step - roasting ribs in the oven. this removes fat and liquid that would otherwise cause soupy results in the crockpot. use any sauce (i like 1 cup ketchup, 1 cup stubb's barbecue sauce, 2 tablespoons. brown sugar, 1 teaspoon worcestershire, and tabasco hot sauce to taste.) the original sauce recipe (which i've tried) isn't sharp or hot enough for our tastes. we use boneless beef chuck country ribs, 2 lbs. or more. stir once during cooking time so ribs don't stick to sides and burn. to thicken sauce a bit, put the crockpot on high, with the lid ajar, during the last half hour.
6 i didn't care for all the ingredients needed for the results. it tasted similar to what i tend to do for slow cooker ribs. i simplyt seasoned the ribs with garlic salt, onion powder, and black pepper; place in the crock pot and cover the ribs with a half a bottle of kc masterpiece bbq sauce. i let the ribs cook on low for about 8-10 hours. then i place them in the oven on a baking sheet for a half hour so that the sauce caramelizes the meat. it works every time!
7 the sauce tastes alot like ketchup. it is not horrible but it is below average to me. i substituted the 2 cup equivalent of my favorite bbq sauce for the ketchup and they were delicious. i would also recommend rotating the ribs halfway through the cooking process if possible so that all the ribs are equally tender. this just became my favorite slow cooker recipe.
8 these were the most incredible ribs i have ever tasted, in or out of a restaraunt! i followed other reviewers' advice and substituted bbq sauce for the ketchup, (2 cups) and ketchup for the chili sauce. (1 cup) i cut back on the vinegar to 2 1/2 tablespoons just because i thought 4 tablespoons was a lot. i also left out the hot sauce, simply because i didn't have any on hand. i used boneless country style ribs. i couldn't get them out of the crock pot in one piece, they were soo tender!
9 in my son note's: he said for the crock pot suggestion. best prep is simmering ribs in water bath (with minced garlic, seasoned salt & emeril's southwestern spice), for 20 minutes; then prepare bbq sauce of choice (approx 2 cups), add to drained ribs and cook in crock pot for 5-6 hours on low. remove from crock pot and brown ribs on grill or under broiler.

Slow Cooker Autumn Sausage Casserole

Total Time: 7 hrs 30 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins Cook Time: 7 hrs

Ingredients

Servings: 4
1 lb sausage, any flavor
1 large apple, chopped, no need to peel
1 yellow onion, chopped
1/2 cup chopped carrot
3 cups already cooked long-grain rice
1/2 cup raisins
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup chicken broth or 1/3 cup water

Recipe

1 the directions.
2 the amount of ingredients fit nicely in a 4 quart crockpot. i'd say this comfortably feeds a family of 4-5 with a bit of leftovers. if you have a large family or teenagers, add more rice and sausage. it's a pretty easy recipe to adapt to your needs.
3 if you are going to use uncooked lamb sausage, i'd recommend browning on the stove top, and draining before adding to the crockpot.
4 otherwise, dump all the ingredients into the crock, and stir well.
5 cover and cook on low for 5-7 hours, or on high for 3-4. you're really only heating through, and allowing the vegetables to soften.
6 this will not stick together like a gloppy casserole; it has the consistency of fried rice. use bowls to serve rather than plates.

1 the first step is to place the chicken in the slow cooker. if there are any bones on the meat then you can remove them but it is also okay to leave them in as they will usually come away once the chicken is cooked.
2 mix the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice as well as the preferred amount of oregano, salt and pepper into a large bowl and stir. pour on top of the chicken and stir again.
3 set the cooker on a high heat for approximately 6 hours or on a low heat for 8 to 10 hours.
