Falling Off The Boneless Sweet and Sour Ribs

This is the number one reason to own a slow cooker.  There are lots of different ways to make ribs in the slow cooker, but this is one tht I like because it's incredibly easy and the only real cost is the meat - everything else is "pantry stuff" that we keep around the kitchen.

Tools:

Slow Cooker

Ingredients:

2 lbs boneless pork ribs, country style

1/2 cup ketchup

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup cider vinegar

2 tbsp honey mustard

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

salt and pepper

Whisk together all the ingredients in the slow cooker.  Put the ribs in, toss them in the sauce and lay them in a row.  

Cover and cook on high for 6 hours.

You can also get bone-in ribs which are a bit less expensive, and cook nicely if you put them bone side up in the pot.  But I get a couple pounds of boneless organic ribs at the grocery store for $4 a lb.  Combined with the leftover mac and cheese and some Caramelized Brussel Sprouts for a nicely rounded meal.
