ingredients
- 5 lbs country-style pork ribs
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 2 cups chopped onions
- 1⁄2 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1⁄2 cup yellow mustard
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (I used John Boy and Billy's hot & spicy grillin' sauce)
- 1 cup water
- 3 tablespoons dark cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes
directions
- While I boil the pork for 20-30 minutes to decrease fat, I mix all other ingredients together in a large enough bowl and stir to mix well.
- Put pork in the crock pot, adding sauce as you go, until you get to about an inch from the top.
- Use as much sauce as you can as it will be needed later to put over the rice.
- With a big spoon, give a stir to blend all together.
- Put on the lid, turn on high and let it cook for about 5 hours.
- After that, you may want to keep it a little longer on low to keep it hot.
- Serve this with some white rice, baked beans (or just pork& beans), cole slaw and some toasted garlic bread and you have yourself a meal.
- Be sure to use lots of the sauce over the pork and rice.

I was looking for a crock pot recipe for my country style pork ribs. This was excellent! I heeded 2 pieces of advice from reviewers: it's HOT so if you don't like it hot, put in less cayenne and boy am I glad I did...I think it would have been inedible for our family otherwise. I used 1/4 tsp. Others commented that it was watery, so I decided to drain the liquid from my canned diced tomatoes and measure it to see how much it was (almost a 1/2 a cup), Therefore I didn't add the water as called for in the recipe and i think the thickness was perfect. Other than that I went by the recipe exactly. You definitely need something to put the extra sauce on, like baked potatoes or rice but I wanted something a little lower in carbs so I steamed a whole bunch of fresh green beans and poured it over those...mmm. I think the recipe says that 5 lbs of pork ribs feeds 4 but this definitely fed 4 men and 2 women. This recipe is easy, fairly quick, economical and tasty, that's why it gets 5 stars. It's a keeper!

I just made this and I can still smell the wonderful aroma in the air! I made as instructed, but pan seared the ribs in olive oil first, omitted celery & bell pepper and added a teeny bit of liquid smoke, chili sauce and steak sauce. I cooked in my pressure cooker for almost 45 minutes and the ribs were falling apart tender! I also skimmed off the fat and thickened the sauce with a little cornstarch and it turned out awesome! Thanks so much for such a great recipe! Will be making again!

I wouldn't feel right about reviewing a recipe if I ended up changing it significantly. So Happy George, I did keep your wonderful recipe exactly as you posted..... ummmm.....except....I threw in 4 honkin' big cloves of garlic. After all, it's influenza flu season now and I felt the garlic would keep both the flu and the werewolves at bay! <br/>The barbecue sauce I used was just the good old regular Kraft. <br/>There was no ceremony involved in my preparation. I literally threw everything in the crockpot in the early morning, and let it percolate away on low for the entire day. The kitchen with filled with delightful aromas when I arrived home. <br/>Honestly, I would very highly recommend cooking it today and serving it tomorrow or later. Not only was I able to degrease it successfully when it was cold, but the flavour improved exponentially every day it sat in the fridge. In fact, the 'final act' (of left over leftovers) was scarfed down 5 days later. By then the flavour was downright spectacular! We enjoyed it all week shovelled over rice, over buttered noodles, on hamburger buns, over a rice cake for lunch, and then finally hot out of the microwave (on paper plates!) with heavily buttered bread. <br/>Thank you for sharing your truly delicious recipe.

I left out the salt, used garlic powder instead of garlic salt, used all NSA tomato products, and made a no-salt BBQ sauce. Used brown Splenda blend for sugar. This was great. The best low-sodium Crock Pot recipe ever tried. The family loved it. I may have gone a little heavy on the vinegar but it worked. Eyes watered while cooking, nose ran while eating; the way a good BBQ should work!!! (Served it over mashed potatoes)
