Smothered in a mouthwatering barbecue sauce, these meaty ribs are a popular entree wherever I serve them. The recipe is great for a busy cook - after everything is combined, the slow cooker does all the work.—Pam Halfhill, Medina, Ohio

Made this exactly as written except slow cooked for 7 hours. Meat was very tender (perfect infact) but there was a tangy taste that I didn't care for, maybe too much vinegar. It wasn't bad but I won't make this again.

I have made this twice and it was excellent both times. I do feel compelled to mention that this is not a diet recipe. I noticed that it does not have the nutritional information. I did substitute canola oil for the butter. The ribs were done and very tender after 6 hours. There was excess oil floating on top at the end which I soaked up with a paper towel to reduce the calories. The flavor and tenderness of the beef was wonderful and even the calories would not keep me from making this again.

Everytime i looked through my cookbook to find a recipe i always see this one and it looked so good. I finally made it one night and it was delicious!!! Im not to big on beef so next time i will try it with country style ribs. The only thing i would change is the time for the slow cooker. I had it in for 6 hours on low and it was very tender so i don't recommend cooking it for 9. I will be sure to make this again.

This recipe was tried and unfortunately was not anything as stated from others. I guess if you have no concerns about cholestoral not to mention your health in general then have at 'er. Who in the right mind cooks with so much butter or fat. Two tbsp. of olive oil if that would be plenty! 9 or 10 hours cooking time is way too long in the slow cooker bujt if you like food that looks like it came out from a horse's ass and was put back on your plate then again have at 'er. This recipes definately needs to be tweeked quite a bit! Sorry for the bad news but if some of us were not honest then you'd be wasting your time and especially money on recipes that do not deserve be shared.

My husband is a hunting guide. So coming up with recipes for hungry hunters is a must for me. This recipe made the cut. Wonderfuly tangy and melt in your mouth meat. I made with pork, but I am sure that beef would be awesome also. This will be going in the "Family Cook Book" for sure.

I have made this recipe many times, substituting country style pork ribs for the short ribs. It is a family favorite and a crowd pleaser. (the cooking time is less for pork)
