Slow Cooker Ribs

This is one of those dinners for when you have an insanely crazy day and want to be able to throw something in the slow-cooker and it will actually taste good.  They get so tender you can cut them with your fork.  I usually use my homemade Peach BBQ Sauce (will post recipe later) but it’s great with a tomato-based as well, and that’s actually what I used in the photo here to test it out. I also finished them in a saute pan and the results were good, but I do prefer the texture that I get with a grill pan better.

SLOW COOKER RIBS
3-5 lbs pork ribs, boneless
2 T paprika
1 T garlic powder
1 T sugar
2 tsp onion powder
BBQ Sauce of choice

Combine paprika, garlic powder, sugar, and onion powder. Rub all over ribs. Place in slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours.  When ready to serve, heat in a grill pan (or saute pan if you don’t have one) and baste often with BBQ Sauce. Serve hot.

Crock Pot Turkey (or Chicken)

This is so easy AND good. Two things I love.  I used a bone-in Turkey breast, but this is wonderful to do with a whole chicken as well. and you can rest the bird on thick slices of onion just like I do when I roast poultry, but the turkey breast wouldn’t have fit.


CROCK-POT TURKEY (OR CHICKEN)

Bone-in turkey breast or whole chicken (up to 6 lbs or so)
3 T no-salt seasoning
1 T kosher salt
2 lemons

Rinse your bird inside & out and pat dry with paper towels.
Mix salt & seasoning and rub all over bird, inside and out.
Pierce lemons with sharp knife all over and put inside the cavity.

Place in crock-pot and put on low for about 8 hours. If you have less time, you could probably put on high for about 4 or 5 hours.
