These Country Style Ribs cook up juicy and are fall of the bone tender, in this ridiculously easy slow cooker recipe.
I love barbecue. Sometimes I do not have time to make it out on the grill. Sometimes it is to rainy or cold to even want to go anywhere near the grill.
That is why this recipe is so great!
You can make it in your slow cooker or with a few modifications in your oven. I suppose this sauce would be more like a Memphis sauce. Only in that it has tomatoes in it. Now dont freak out if you do not have San Marzano tomatoes. You can use any good quality canned tomatoes. I only used those because they were in my pantry.
I made the sauce the night before. It has bacon in it and you have to render it down. You run it through a food processor or blender and it will keep in your fridge for over a week. You can use it on all sorts of things not just ribs.
