Crock Pot Ribs

This is one of THE easiest meals to make and one of the most delicious!

Country style pork ribs (bone-in or boneless)
BBQ sauce (We prefer Sweet Baby Ray's)

*Throw ribs in crock pot and cover with sauce. Cook on low 6-8 hours.
*When ready to eat, remove from crock pot and place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Pour more sauce on top. Broil 3-5 minutes, so the sauce can caramelize. Enjoy!

Best Ever Crock Pot Roast

Okay seriously, this is the best roast I've had, hands-down. I love doing crock pot meals during church because the troops come home famished and I don't have to scramble to fix something. I am pleased and a little embarrassed to say that this whole meal only lasted my family of 4 one meal...My husband ate over half of the roast by himself. We've been married 6 years and I feel like that whole time I've been looking for the perfect roast recipe....he agreed I had finally found it. Anyway, give it a try! Thanks, Marie!

2-5 pound pot roast (any kind)--I used a 3-lb beef rib roast, bone-in, frozen
1 envelope ranch dressing (dried)
1 envelope Italian dressing
1 envelope brown gravy mix
Potatoes and Carrots
1 to 1-1/2 cup water (I actually added about 4 cups of water, just enough to cover the potatoes and carrots)

* If you wanted carrots and potatoes, cut them to your liking and put in the bottom of your CrockPot. Put Roast on top of vegetables. Sprinkle all 3 spice envelopes on top. Add the water. Cook on LOW for 6-10 hours until tender and veggies cooked through. (I cooked on high for about 5 hours, starting with a frozen roast).

Moist & Tender Oven-Baked BBQ Ribs

Pork ribs go on sale A LOT in grocery stores, and anytime my husband goes to the store with me he's on the lookout for some cheapies....I don't really care for ribs so he usually just broils them, nothing fancy. I decided to surprise him by making them a little fancier (but easy as pie), and I actually ate two they were so good!

4-6 boneless beef or pork ribs (cut recipe in half if you only have a couple)

1/4 cup salt

1/4 cup sugar

2 (18 oz.) containers BBQ sauce (next time I will do a flavor instead of just original to give it more zing)

Paprika to taste (I put about 1/2 tsp)

*Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Mix salt, sugar, and paprika. Roll each portion of meat in mixture. Place in baking dish with about 1 inch of water (or enough water to go up halfway on ribs).

*Bake for one hour. Remove from oven and turn meat. Bake one hour more. Remove from oven; drain water and add BBQ sauce. Increase heat to 400 degrees and bake 30 more minutes. Remove and serve!
