Tasty Tuesday--Slow Cooker BBQ Ribs

It's TUESDAY!!! Which means it times for a tasty treat. These are finger-lickin' good ribs! And they couldn't be any easier than putting them into the slow cooker before work and then slapping them on the grill for 5 minutes when you get home! We served them along side with the Crispy Smashed Potatoes I shared with you last week.

Slow Cooker BBQ Ribs

Ingredients

2-3 lbs Country Style Pork Ribs
1 can beer
3 Tbls Liquid Smoke
Italian Seasoning, Montreal Steak Seasoning, Garlic Powder, Dried Chopped Onion (to taste)


Directions

Place ribs in the slow cooker. Pour beer over ribs. Add Liquid Smoke. Sprinkle seasonings over ribs. Make sure to lift the top ribs up so that all ribs get covered. Set temperature on low. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. If you are able, add BBQ sauce on the ribs after about 5 hours. Otherwise, add the sauce to the ribs at the end.
Preheat grill. Add ribs to grill and cook about 5 minutes on each side, basting with BBQ sauce. Serve immediately.

Our family absolutely loves these ribs. They are perfect for busy families to have a delicious, finger-lickin' meal at the end of a hectic day with very little effort.

Enjoy!

Crock Pot Apple Crisp

I love fall and the smells that come from the kitchen! Nothing beats a fall day when it ends with some delicious apple crisp. I have an easy recipe for you to enjoy! I usually bake apple crisp in the oven, but came across this recipe so I gave it a try.

I find it best to get out everything you need first, it makes the prep time go more smoothly. 
Combine the brown sugar, quick oats and flour together. Cut in the butter to make crumbs. Next, combine the apples with half of the crumbs, mixing to coat the apples. Pour the apples into the greased crock pot. Mix the water, sugar and cinnamon together and pour over apples. Top with the remaining crumbs, set on HIGH and enjoy 3 hours later!

Ingredients
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup quick oats
½ cup flour
¼ cup butter
4 cups peeled, sliced apples
¾ cup water
½ cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Directions
Stir brown sugar, oats and flour until combined. Cut in the butter with pastry blender to make soft crumbs (you can also use a fork).
Combine the apples and half of the crumb mixture. Pour apples into a well greased crock pot. Stir water, sugar and cinnamon together and pour over apples. Top with remaining crumb mixture.
Put lid on crock pot and cook on HIGH for 3 hours or LOW for 5-6 hours. Open and let rest 10 minutes before serving--this allows the liquid to thicken.
