Slow Cooker Country-Style Pork Ribs

Another great Kittencal recipe.

Notes from our test kitchen; do not substitute pancake syrup for maple syrup it does not work well in the recipe, use you favorite honey barbecue sauce, do not use a smokey flavor sauce, this also works well using thicker cut pork steaks… a 5-quart slow cooker is needed for this recipe

Servings 6

Ingredients:

1 large onion or 2 smaller onions, sliced

4 large garlic cloves, sliced in half (garlic lovers can use more)

2-1/2 pounds boneless country-style pork ribs

1 (18-ounce) bottle of honey barbecue sauce

pinch cayenne pepper, or adjust to taste

1/3 cup pure maple syrup

1/4 cup spicy brown mustard (I use French’s spicy brown mustard)

1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, or to taste

Instructions:

Place the onion slices and garlic clove halves into the bottom of the slow cooker, place the ribs on top.

In a bowl combine barbecue sauce with cayenne pepper, maple syrup, brown mustard and black pepper; pour over the ribs.

Cover and cook on LOW for 8-9 hours or until meat is tender.

Serve the meat with the sauce (you may remove the garlic halves if desired or leave them in).
