Slow Cooked Teriyaki Ribs March 1, 2014

Hello Friends and Welcome to Slow Cooker Saturday!

The leaves are falling, there’s a crispness in the air; the daylight hours are shorter yet my commute remains long, which is why I love Crock Pot meals. If you are heading to the grocery store this weekend to stock up on milk, bread and eggs why not grab a few other ingredients and make this slow cooked meal ~ Teriyaki Ribs

Grocery List:

3 lbs of Beef Short Ribs

1 Cup Carrots – Baby or full, peeled and diced

1 cup Butternut Squash, peeled and cubed

2 Bottles of Stir Fry Sauce

1 package of fresh mushrooms

Dice the carrots, Butternut Squash and make sure to wash the mushrooms thoroughly.

Spray Crock Pot with Cooking Spray for easier cleanup, or use a Slow Cooker Liner, put in short ribs then top with carrots, squash and mushrooms.

Add 1 cup of water

Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours depending on Crock Pot.

Serve over white or Jasmine Rice and you’ll have a complete, hearty meal for four with leftovers.

Stay Blessed ~ No Stress in 2014

Crocktober – BBQ Beef Ribs November 1, 2013

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!

What a perfect way to kick off the month dedicated to all things food!!!

Friday’s Foodie Feature is Slow Cooked BBQ Beef Ribs – this is one recipe that had my mouth watering and my mind on the Crock Pot all day long. Since we don’t eat a lot of red meat it was definitely a treat for the entire family!

Ingredients:

Beef Ribs
McCormick Grill Mates
Bottle BBQ Sauce
1 Medium or Large Onion
Cooking Spray
Water

Place ribs inside a large plastic bag, add Grill Mates Seasoning then rub to coat each rib.

I usually get a few extra produce or meat bags from the grocery store which comes in handy for marinating or dry rubbing meat so that I don’t have to touch it.

Rub dry seasoning to coat each rib

Lay ribs flat in the bag, then using another bag cover to seal and place in the refrigerator overnight.

Remove ribs from the bag and dice onion

Spray Crock Pot with Cooking Spray then layer the ribs, diced onion and a little BBQ Sauce

Continue layering ribs, onion and sauce

I had some leftover pineapple chunks so I tossed them in over the last layer of ribs. Added a little water to the empty BBQ Sauce bottle, shaken and poured over fruit – “waste not want not”

Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours

Oh how I wish this was “smell-o-vision” because when I walked through the door…oh la la the aroma was overwhelmingly delicious and I know you would have loved it!

These finger-licking-good ribs were served with mashed potatoes and string beans to complete our family meal.

If you try this recipe, make sure to come back and let me know how delicious they were!

Have a fantabulous day – Smooches!
