Lazy Man's Ribs

Simple & Delicious - try a FREE ISSUE today!

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!"

SERVINGS: 4

CATEGORY: Main Dish

METHOD: Slow Cooker

TIME: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 5-1/2 hours

Ingredients:

  • 2-1/2 pounds pork baby back ribs, cut into eight pieces
  • 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup orange juice
  • 1/3 cup cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
  • 1 teaspoon stone-ground mustard
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Liquid Smoke, optional
  • Dash salt
  • 5 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water

Directions:

Rub ribs with Cajun seasoning. Layer ribs and onion in a 5-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, orange juice, vinegar, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, barbecue sauce, mustard, paprika, garlic powder, Liquid Smoke if desired and salt. Pour over ribs. Cover and cook on low for 5-1/2 to 6-1/2 hours or until meat is tender.

    I use a 2-3 pound pork loin/pork roast and shredd the meat after cooking @6 hours for a fantastic pulled pork sandwich. But don't use the water & cornstarch.
