"My husband, Randy, and I love barbecue ribs, but with our conflicting schedules, we rarely have time to fire up the grill," says Kandy Bingham, Green River, Wyoming. "So we let the slow cooker do the work for us. By the time we get home from work, the ribs are tender, juicy and ready to devour."

Excellent slow-cooker recipe. I placed the meat, then the onion. Cooked on low heat for 1 hour, then poured off fat. Put the sauce over meat, a little more salt and pepper. Reset my slow-cooker on high for 4 hours. Had to thicken the sauce with a flour\water mix 45 minutes before it was done(be sure the sauce is boiling before thikening it). All my family really liked it. (my husband and I, and our 4 children aged 15, 13,10 and 6) That's saying a lot!

Next time, I will cook the meat longer by itself, and pour off fat. Mix the sauce in a saucepan, thicken it and then put on the meat and cook for the last hour.

This is a wonderful recipe, BUT put ribs in crockpot first, sliced onions on top--start cooking and 3/4 way thru carefully poor off grease. Now add rest of ingredients. Don't worry, the ribs cook fine alone (remember, they make their own grease to cook in), but the final sauce will be much better tasting.
