I’m a sucker for a good deal. So, when our local grocery store had pork spare ribs on sale for 99 cents/pound, I bought two racks and stuck them in the freezer. I pulled out one rack to entertain with today.
This recipe is so good, and SO EASY! Just set it and leave it alone for as long as you can. They come out perfectly tender and delicious (I may have had a few stray bones…so I went fishing for the meat!). Serve with whatever you like, such as mashed potatoes and a side salad, like I did. These would be great with a side of corn bread or green beans, too.
Ingredients (feeds 8):
- 4-5 pounds spare ribs (mine was 4.76)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp molasses (or, use 2 Tbsp of brown sugar instead of sugar + molasses)
- 4 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cans condensed tomato soup
- 3 Tbsp ketsup
Method:
Thaw ribs. Cut them apart into single ribs, stick them in your crockpot. Combine the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and whisk together. Pour over the ribs. Cook on low for 6-10 hours. Serve and enjoy!
