Ribs. This is a food that has alluded me for many years. I like ribs a lot, but, for some reason, I have never....ever....made them. I was actually nervous/scared to try and cook them. Why? I am not sure. I just steered away from them.
Last week, I came across a recipe for ribs cooked in the crockpot and I sat up and took notice. If you cannot tell, I am crockpot obsessed. This recipe was so simplistic that I thought...why not give it a go. And a go I did.
The recipe calls for you to flip the ribs over half way through the day. Well, Thanksgiving is just a day away...I was not staying at home. I admit to fretting some throughout the day while we were gone...fearful that my ribs were going to dry out without being flipped. As soon as I got home, I ran in the house and flipped them over and hoped that cooking for just 45 minutes more on the flip side would repair any damage done. Uh....yeah.....no damage!! These ribs were amazing. Incredibly amazing. Awesomely amazing.
I must tell you, I was a bit nervous about the recipe. It called for a cup of soy sauce. I am not a fan of this sauce and a cup seemed excessive. I bought the low sodium variety. It also called for a cup of packed brown sugar which also scared me (I am not a fan of sweet main courses). When I came home, the house smelled strongly of soy sauce and I became further fearful. What had I done???
In the end, as stated already, the flavors blended beautifully...everyone loved it....this will make it in the repeat files.
So, it's simple:
Get about 4 pounds of ribs (we got beef). Place them in your crockpot (we had to slice the racks of ribs in half). Place 5 WHOLE jalapenos on top. Mix together in a bowl the 1 cup of soy sauce and 1 cup of brown sugar and than pour it over the ribs. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, flipping the ribs over halfway through the day.
Make this!! It is GREAT!!!
