If you read my blog, you know that I’ve made ribs before and shared my recipe..but this time I tried something completely different and it is worthy of a second ribs post within 6 months.
Our local coop has a great selection of fresh meats from Alberta, the last time we went shopping these beautiful pork side ribs were on sale and we had to pick some up. We had decided that since we just bought a house (OMG!! Yay!!), that we really need to save some money to buy all of the stuff we need to move in and we should eat at home as much as we can from now until our possession October 1st.
I prepped the slow cooker the night before by cutting up the ribs into pieces as it is easier to set them into the slow cooker that way and because I know they will be fall apart delicious at the end and it will be impossible to take them out if I don’t! I layer them in the slow cooker making sure to season each layer as I am doing it. I started with garlic powder, we bought this awesome garlic mill in the US while we were visiting for the state fair, Red Robin seasoning salt, onion powder and pepper. I then poured in 3/4 of a bottle of Bullseye Chicken & Rib BBQ sauce, a few dashes of worchestershire sauce and 3/4 of a 591 ml bottle of Pepsi and watered it down a bit as well. We left it to sit overnight in the fridge to soak up all of the flavour.
The next morning when I got up to go to work, I set it to low and forgot about it before I went through the door. When I came back in the door 10 hours later, the house smelled amazing! Matt cooked some rice to go with the ribs and dinner ( and lunch for the next day) was served!
I could NOT believe how well the Pepsi flavour came thorough! I am already looking forward to trying this again with Root Beer because I think the flavours would be absolutely amazing! I recommend doing this the next time you get a hankering for ribs!
Enjoy!
