Crockpot Spare Ribs - an easy meaty dinner with carrots and potatoes covered in a tangy sauce. This tender, hearty meal is perfect when you don't want to turn on the oven in the summer or want comfort food in the winter.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs. boneless spare ribs beef or pork
- 2 tablespoons chopped onion
- 6 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons water
- 12 ounces Heinze chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 4-6 carrots
- 5-7 medium potatoes
Instructions
- Turn crockpot onto low, and cut the ribs into single servings.
- Prepare a large skillet by coating it with cooking spray. Place ribs in the skillet over medium high heat and sear on all sides.
- Peel potatoes and carrots. Cut them into thirds, then halves. Place half of potatoes and carrots in the bottom of the crockpot.
- Place the browned spare ribs on top in a single layer if possible. Cover with the remaining carrots and potatoes.
- In a blender, combine onion, lemon juice, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and chili sauce.
- Blend on high until all ingredients are mixed well. Evenly distribute the sauce over the carrots and potatoes.
- Cook until meat is fork tender and shreds easily- low for 8-10 hours, or high for 4-6 hours Stir occasionally while cooking. This dish tastes best when everything is mixed together.
Notes
If you prefer to buy bone-in ribs, purchase 4.5 lbs. to make this recipe, and you may need to use the least amount of vegetables called for.
