Says Allan Stackhouse, Jr. in Jennings, Louisiana: "I’ll have to admit these ribs are finger-lickin’ good and fall-off-the-bone tender! I’ve made them for a lot of my buddies—including my preacher—and some have even suggested that I try bottling my sauce and selling it to the public!"

One of my go to meals for company. Fabulous and tasty, and once it's in the crockpot it's a breeze! THANKS for posting!

We were disappointed in this recipe. Found them too vinegary.

Just wanted to make a comment. My BBQ recipe is almost identical to my recipe. Differences are, I don't use the cajun seasoning as we don't care for the taste of it., I dice my onion very fine, In place of molasses, I use 2/3 cup brown sugar. And I don't use the 1 tsp. BBQ sauce, because this recipe IS the BBQ sauce

Made this with some of the ribs my husband brings home after his hunting trips. They were so very tender (fall off the bone tender) and the sauce is wonderful.

Delicious!

The sauce was good, not great, but I did like the orange juice in it. I thought there were too many ingredients, and I didn't like the onions at all. I prefer to bake my ribs at 325 for 2 hours, then drain the fat before basting with sauce. I think it's a texture issue for me with the slow cooker.

Had a chef tell me to boil ribs and peel the membrane off the back of them before cooking them.. wish I hadn't with this recipe, the meat fell off the bones while I was taking it out of the slow cooker. The sauce is delicious. I won't need another rib recipe EVER! Truly the best, thank you for sharing!
