Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Country-style ribs are the best choice for this recipe. They are meatier and have more flavor than other types of ribs.
  • Trim the ribs: Remove any excess fat or cartilage from the ribs before cooking. This will help the sauce to penetrate the meat better.
  • Brown the ribs: Browning the ribs before adding them to the slow cooker helps to develop their flavor. You can do this in a skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
  • Use a good quality sauce: The sauce is the key to this recipe, so make sure to use a good quality one. You can either make your own sauce or use a store-bought sauce.
  • Cook the ribs on low: Cooking the ribs on low heat for 8-10 hours allows the meat to become fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Serve the ribs with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, green beans, and cornbread are all classic sides that go well with sweet and sour country ribs.
