Slow Cooker Ribs

Look closely, the ribs are the big plate in the middle.

I used to spend a lot of time wandering the BYU bookstore. My husband and I didn't always have classes at the same time or I would need to kill some time while I was waiting for him to finish a test.  I found a lot of good books in the bargain books section, mostly cookbooks. One of the cookbooks I found was Cook Once, Eat Twice Slow Cooker Recipes.  I bought it because it's full of slow cooker recipes, but it's a neat book overall.  It'll give a recipe and then the next page is a recipe for using the left overs (if you have any left overs, that is.)  I have so many cookbooks that I've never used this one until yesterday. We had signed up to have the missionaries from church over for dinner and they had told my husband they wanted some barbecue.  The cookbook had a recipe for ribs in the slow cooker, so I thought I would try it out since the best way to get tender ribs is to slow cook them anyway.  They were delicious and very, very tender (some of them just about fell off the bone in the slow cooker.)

Slow Cooker Ribs

• 4-5 pounds ribs (the original recipe called for pork , but I used beef. It's what my hubby wanted)
• 1 1/2 cups bottled BBQ sauce
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup chopped celery
• 2 cloves  garlic, minced ( I love garlic so I added a few more cloves)
• 2 Tablespoons yellow mustard
• 2 Tablespoos Worcestershire sauce

Place ribs in your slow cooker. In a bowl mix together remaining ingredients. Pour sauce mixture over ribs in slowcooker. Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
