Crockpot BBQ Ribs

BBQ ribs are one of my favorite meals. I love the tender, juicy meat with the sweet and tangy BBQ sauce. But finding the time to slow roast them can be a challenge.

So a good 7-9 hours, depending on the thickness, is perfect! To make a batch of my BBQ Ribs you will need the following - 1 slab pork ribs 1 bottle Famous Dave's Sweet ...
