Good Grief! If the nutritional facts re this recipe are correct, you may want to reconsider; unless, of course you are trying to give someone a heart attack!

I also found this recipe many years ago. I tried it in the crock pot on a hunting trip, but found they just fell apart into shredded pork....so, Instead of a crock pot, I now rub the ribs and layer them in a baking pan with the onions and pour the coke over and bake them in the oven until tender, rotating them to keep them all in the coke, (usually about 3 hours) then finish them on the grill (or oven in winter on a baking sheet) with the BBQ sauce. I have had rave review with this. I use hickory liquid smoke for beef ribs, and misquite liquid smoke for pork and venison ribs.

This is an excellent recipe. I wish we could have it more often, but my husband is a Diabetic and I have High Blood Pressure.

AMAZING! Absolutely AMAZING ribs! We followed the recipe exactly as it is (including the Liquid Smoke), and had phenomenal results! The ribs were so tender that they just fell off the bone! Full of taste! Delicious!

I discovered this recipe shortly after getting married, and it has been one of my husband's favorite dishes ever since. Best ribs EVER!

I did change the recipe a bit by mixing the cola and BBQ sauce together, and pouring the whole mixture over the ribs at the beginning. I also use Hickory flavored liquid smoke in the rub.
