In the Kitchen: Lone Star BBQ Ribs

Chocolate. My friend. How I love you.

I know you've been sad for years...relegated to dessert or snack status. Eaten in the secrecy of my pantry with the door closed so the kidders won't find my hidden stash.

At last, you can break free! I've broken the chains and brought you to the dinner table! The main course!

Confused? Bear with me, here.


This recipe is the 8th in my 10-part In the Kitchen series with Gooseberry Patch & the Real Farmwives of America. I'm working my way through their Slow-Cooker Recipes cookbook (thanks to receiving a complimentary copy from GP!). Once I've cooked 10 of these yummy recipes, I'll be giving away a copy of this cookbook to a lucky reader! Only 2 more recipes to go after this one...

Here's what you'll need for Lone Star BBQ ribs...I'll show you where the chocolate comes in shortly, I promise..


3# bone-in beef short ribs - I used country style pork rubs cause they were massively on sale
1 cup water
1/2 cup bbq sauce
1/2 cup dry red wine or beef broth
1 tbsp Worchestershire sauce
 

Oh, yes I did!

Chocolate BBQ sauce...I am now in heaven. Don't knock it 'til you try it...it's AMAZING!


Arrange your ribs in the slow cooker, then mix the remaining ingredients together and pour over the ribs.


Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.


Ta da! Dinner is served! My ribs were a little fatty (probably why they were on sale), but still an excellent way to cooks some ribs...especially now that the kidders are back in school and evenings are rushed with after-school activities here, there and everywhere.

Stay tuned for the last two recipes from my Gooseberry Patch Slow Cooker recipe cookbook. I'll be cooking up 10 recipes, then giving away a brand new copy thanks to my friends at Gooseberry Patch. For more great recipes - including a lot more Gooseberry Patch ones - head on over to the Real Farmwives of America and check out what the rest of these girls have going on.

  3. Chocolate BBQ sauce?! I'm going to have to find some of this and try it. Sounds yummy! I have used cocoa powder in my chili so why not chocolate bbq sauce for ribs or pulled pork.
