Short ribs...my way
Use about as many short ribs that will fit in your crock pot. Mine holds 3-4 pounds. I break them apart if they are meaty. I add a bottle and a half of barbeque sauce (my favorite of the moment is Sweet Baby Ray's). I add about 3⁄4 cup of liquid. Beer works well.
Cook on low 8-10 hours. I switch to warm after about 9 hours. Ribs come out pretty damn close to fork tender. As there are just two of us, I have a lot left over. This last time, for something different, I took all the left over meat off the bones, and cut it down to a pulled pork consistency, some of it came out a little cubed up. Then I froze it. Put the remaining liquid from cooking into a container, froze that too. Last weekend I used the pork, and sauce , added tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and chili seasoning and made a big old batch of pork chili. YUM. Ate a lot of chili, froze a batch. Got two meals from ribs, and a bunch more from chili.
