  1. Wow these were great ribs! They were a little sweet and almost falling off the bone (didn't fall off but the meat was oh so tender). My first thought, was these tasted like something that I might order at a great barbeque restaurant. I used about 4 pounds of country style ribs rather than baby-back ribs, Coke and Kraft Hickory Smoked Barbeque Sauce. I didn't start quite soon enough to cook at 250 degrees F. for 4 hours but increased the temperature to 325 degrees F. and cooked for 2 hours. Once the barbeque sauce was added I cooked for 1 hour at 325 degrees F. (removed the lid about 20 minutes prior to being done). This is now going to be my recipe of choice for making ribs in the future!
     
  2. this was absolutely fabulous!! i didn't change a thing! it was easy and so very good! thanks!
     
  3. The ribs were fantastic!!!! The four hours simmering with the coke in the oven really removes a lot of fat from the ribs. I used about 4 lbs. Country Style ribs and when I removed them from baking dish so I could drain the coke, they were falling off the bone. Before I put them back in the dish, I added 8 oz. of sliced mushrooms, put the ribs and onions on top of the mushrooms and used Jack Daniels Sizzling Smokehouse Blend Grilling sauce which has a real bite to it...I loved the hot spicy flavor, but my husband said he would prefer a milder barbecue sauce next time, and there will be a next time!! Thanks for a great recipe.
     
  4. I was a little disappointed with this recipe. It was very easy to prepare and the meat was very tender, but I didn't find the flavor anything special. I think I would have gotten the same results by simply boiling the ribs then covering them with bbq sauce and simmering them for awhile without all the extra ingredients. I thought because it had pop that they would be sweet and somewhat sticky, but they weren't at all what I had expected. Unfortunately, probably won't make them again.

  1. When I transfer the ribs to the oven, I take the juices from the crock-pot and filter them into a pot. I'll boil that down into a bbq sauce. When the ribs are almost done in the oven, I'll broil them for 5-10 minutes. Then, I'll take my new bbq sauce that I made and cover the ribs with them. Finally, now that the ribs are covered in bbq sauce, I'll broil them for another 5 or so minutes until the ribs are nice and sticky. Try this, it will take your ribs to the next level. That is saying a lot, because these ribs are already delicious!
     
  2. VERY good ribs! I used garlic and onion powder instead of the actual garlic and onion, and cooked in the crockpot. Soooo delicious, best crockpot ribs I've ever had! We're making these again!

Can't believe I've been a member here for 18 years! It's changed a lot since the old RecipeZaar days and maybe or maybe not for the better. It used to be a community and now it's just a tool. Sad, but life goes on. I have been in Kentucky for 12 years now and enjoy the country lifestyle, along with master gardening. Recipes I've found here since Day One are still in my rotation. Don't entertain that much anymore, so finding new and exciting foods is no longer center stage. Just glad to have so many good recipes to fall back on because eating out is expensive and sometimes too far to drive.
