Yesterday, I told you about the perfect day we had.
Today was a wonderful day today too.
Sure, there was plenty of baseball. You knew that was going to happen, right?
This morning I got the littles outfitted for church and we actually arrived on time.
Can I get a “Woot! Woot!” for that one, please?
I have a hard time getting the tribe out the door and into the sanctuary on time.
And, it’s not like I’ve got five kids or something.
It’s just that someone is usually complaining about this shirt having “way too many buttons.”
Some Sundays I hear this: “these khakis are uncomfortable and make me look weird.”
Or, the ever popular “I need a jacket to cover up this button-down shirt.”
Sometimes, I wish I could send them in baseball pants and cleats.
Oh well, you get the idea.
There is one thing that does get the whole family out of the house and that is a little reminder that there will be donuts picked up on the way home.
Feel free to use that little motivator, if you need to.
I know you’re here to see these country-style BBQ pork ribs, so let’s get started.
I categorized this meal in my “5 ingredient recipes,” but there’s actually only 4 ingredients.
Get your slow cooker out and place 4 lbs of country-style pork ribs inside. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Next, pour your favorite BBQ sauce over the ribs. Cover with the lid and set your slow cooker temperature to low. They’ll need to cook for 5-6 hours and should be fork-tender. If they don’t easily pull apart with your fork, they aren’t done.
I added a little freshly chopped parsley just before serving. Totally optional though.
I’ll be back this week with my favorite BBQ sauce recipe.

Looks wonderful Allison. And your boys sound so precious! I like that his pants make him look wierd, and needing a jack to cover all the buttons on his shirt – ha ha ha
Thank you, Bernice! Yes, they’re not fans of shirts of buttons. I guess that will change as they get older (I hope!).
Have a wonderful weekend! Any warmer up by you?
Love how tasty and juicy this looks. I can get real messy eat this. Great post Allison! 🙂
Messy is a great way to describe it, Anne! Thank you so much!

YUM! Cannot wait to see your bbq sauce recipe!!
Thank you, Cathy! I’m a bit behind this week, so I hope to post it tonight or over the weekend. 😉
I think we’ve got one more freezing spell, and then it’s on to nice weather. Then it’ll be bbq time!!! love this recipe.
Oh good! Seems like it’s warming up around the country….I hope you’re getting a taste of spring this week. We’re excited to stand outside and grill too!
I’m totally making this tonight!
I sure hope they turned out well for you!
These look yummy, Allison! I’m always looking for ways to use my crockpot. Throw everything in and let it slowly cook! My kind of mid week meal!
Exactly! It was nice to get the slow cooker out and have it all be ready when it was time to sit down for dinner. I love those types of meals during the week too!
Enjoy your weekend!

Allison, these ribs are gorgeous. And I love the use of slow cooker as well. It maintains the moisture very well too. 🙂
Well, thank you! I think I may try to use the slow cooker more (even during the spring and summer months). Thank you SO much for stopping by!
yum-a-rama. This is almost exactly how my grandpa used to cook pork steaks and they fallll apart. So good!
Yes ma’am! We were loving these! It was nice to sit down and not to have to convince anyone to “just try it!”. They just ate dinner and we could sit back and relax. What we really needed was one of your desserts afterward. 😉
ah..slow cooked pork ribs.. Love it..can’t wait for you to share your bbq sauce!
Thank you! We really enjoyed our dinner that night. A little messy, but really good. I’ll post the sauce I made this weekend, hopefully.
Hope you are well!
Allison
Finger licking good! I bet these ribs were a warm welcome after a busy day of games. Oh the drama of kids…really sometimes… it is enough to cause a women stress. I promise you it gets more fun as they get older… You will dream of the days that their simple issues are that their pants make them look weird… Take Care, BAM
That’s a great way to describe these, Bam!
I’m sure you are right (about them getting older)! There is a bit of dramatics, even for boys. Right now, I’m looking at the toddler age and thinking that that was just a few years ago. It all goes so fast!
Hope you have some great plans this weekend!
Allison
I love country still spare ribs…yours look delicious.
Karen, thank you! We really enjoyed this dinner and I loved just getting it all into the slow cooker and have our dinner ready when it was time to eat.
This is delectable!! I pinned this on Pinterest.
Thanks for sharing. Thanks for your visit to my blog Fun with Food as well. Hope you come back and can follow us as well. Thanks again!!

Fabulous recipe – delicious ribs which simmer away in the slow cooker – what’s better than THAT !!
Thank you! I just made them recently and they’re so easy (perfect for weeknights). I need to make a point of using my slow cooker more. Do you use yours often?
I hope you’re enjoying your day!
Allison
For some reason – I missed your post of Jan 15th. Oh, I remember. I was away and had no Wifi connection.
I, too, wish I’d remember to use my slow cooker more often. Get this – I’ve had the same one for probably 40 years!! And it’s still working fine. Things used to be built for the ‘long haul’ all those years ago!
Cecile, I totally agree with you! My Dad used to mention how you would take appliances to the appliance repair shop to have them fixed up. You rarely bought a replacement. Seems we do that all the time now!
We just used the slow cooker for tonight’s supper and country-style pork ribs. They are wonderful in a slow cooker.
Hope you had a lovely weekend! Wifi working, I hope? 🙂
Your ribs look so delicious. I Pinned the recipe immediately when you posted it!!!
Thank you, Cecile! You are very kind to take a look at this post and comment as well. It’s one of my favorites and so easy.
Here’s to more slow cooking this winter! 🙂
