Crocktober – BBQ Beef Ribs

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!

Crocktober

 

Ingredients:

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

BBQ Ribs

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.

BBQ Ribs in Crock Pot

Rub dry seasoning to coat each rib

Crocktober

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

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!

Save A Lot Bargains

On Friday, my son and I went to Save A Lot, a grocery store that I pass everyday on the way home but have never stopped. They had some good bargains especially in the produce department. Tayair thought it was weird that we had to pay a quarter to get a shopping cart, but understood the concept when we returned the cart and got the quarter back. This is not a fancy store nor is it “ghetto” as some people posted on Foursquare but the price is right for certain items as shown below:

These turkey links were awesome on the grill!

Bouillon cubes – 2/$1.00

Ground turkey – $2.99

Bar-B-Que Sauce – $.77 cents

My FAVORITE veggie!

Bagging your own groceries is another way the store saves you money.

I will definitely be back!
