Nothing like the smell of Banquet Beer in the morning

So, I'd like to apologize in advance because my photos skills at 6:30 in the am are quite horrific. However, it was a cold day, I had ribs in the fridge, and I knew that I'd be tickled to come home after work to sweet and spicy, fall-off-the-bone, slow-cooked ribs.


Btw Papa B (that's my dad) said that you have to use pork baby back ribs. Done deal. Lucky for me, they were on sale at my local Sunflower Market. If you don't have a Sunflower Market in your area, I'm sorry and you should get on their website and request one be built in your hood immediately. 


Let's get to it. Get out your slow cooker and set it on low. Crack open any ol' beer that you have in the fridge. You can get fancy and pour in a porter, or an amber, or even a pumpkin brew, but I would save those for drinking and use something a little cheaper. Insert movie quote, "I'd like the chipper chicken". Please disregard my nonsense, unless you know the movie and like the movie, then we can probably be friends. 

Bring on the Banquet beer, aka Coors Original. Pour one can of beer in the slow cooker.

I'm feeding two, so I used approximately 1/2 rack of ribs. Cut in half for an easier fit and add to the slow cooker.

Add 2-3 tablespoons of your favorite bbq sauce. I used spicy bbq sauce from Sunflower Market.

Put the lid on and cook for 7-8 hours on low. I didn't take pictures of these next, crucial steps. Turn on your broiler to high. Put the ribs on a baking sheet and cover with more of your favorite bbq sauce, another 1-2 tablespoons. Put under the broiler for approximately 5 minutes. Keep the door cracked and watch the ribs! Once the bbq starts to bubble and crisp up, take them out of the oven. 


Plop the ribs on a plate and buon appetito! Whoa, a cooking and an Italian lesson in one blog post.

Yeah, I couldn't stop taking pictures of my meat. Hehe. It will literally fall off of the bone!
