Saturday Share - BBQ in a CrockPot?

Barbeque in a CrockPot? Absolutely. I've perfected an easy way to BBQ in a slow cooker. There's really no recipe, it's a process, and it's easy and delicious.

WHAT TO GET?

A slow cooker of your choice. Mine is a stoneware version from CrockPot. It's decades old. To my surprise, you can still get a Stoneware CrockPot at Amazon.

Next, you need a package of pork ribs, a bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce, and salt and pepper.

I buy a big package of Country-Style Ribs. You can use just about any kind of bone-in pork or meat as long as it has fat on it.

Now I do trim the country style pork ribs if there's a huge amount of fat on them. 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Wash the ribs and pat dry. (Darling Hubby worked in the meat section of a supermarket when he was going to college. He said most meat departments don't clean up the tiny particles of bone from cutting huge pounds of meat. They also don't clean the sawblade when going from one kind of meat to another. So always wash your meat and pat it dry.)

2. Spray the slow cooker crock with Pam or brush with oil to make cleaning up easy.

3. Season the meat well with salt and pepper.

4. Place the meat in the slow cooker and use the low setting.

5. Cook for 10-12 hours until the fat is melted and the meat is falling off the bone.

6. Remove the meat with a slotted spoon and shred the meat.

7. Place the meat in an oven-proof dish and pour BBQ sauce over it and "toss" the meat to coat.

8. Serve to acclaim.

9. Pour the drippings into a jar or bowl and refrigerate. When chilled, you can separate the fat from the drippings. Use the fat if you're into the new trend of lard or discard if that's not for you. The meat drippings can be saved to use in stock or flavoring gravy or sauces.

TAKEAWAY TRUTH

This is the easiest way to make mouth-watering BBQ in the kitchen from what is usually the cheapest cut of meat in the supermarket—Country Style Pork Ribs. Let me know if you try it.
