Barbeque Ribs in Crock Pot by Vicki Delany

There’s nothing at all like a mess of hearty ribs. But they can be complicated to cook and need a lot of time and a grill.

No longer! I was delighted to find this recipe that’s a cinch to prepare and cooks without needing attention. The end result is meaty ribs that fall off the bone and are drenched in delicious sauce.
