Really Easy and Delicious Sweet and Sour Chili Ribs

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

This recipe works well with beef or pork ribs ribs too, I have made this recipe using short ribs, and they turned out very good. This is cooked at a very low temperature for a longer time to produce very flavorful and tender ribs. The sauce ingredients may be doubled or tripled for more ribs.

• Total Time: 3 hrs 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 3 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 3 -4 lbs pork ribs (can use beef ribs also for this)
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup ketchup

• 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder (or to taste)
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 large onion, diced
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic (or to taste)
• salt and pepper (optional and to taste)

Directions:

1. Set oven to 275 degrees.
2. Grease a small roasting pan, or a shallow baking dish.
3. Cut the ribs to desired size and place in the roaster pan.
4. Mix all ingredients in a bowl, then pour over ribs in the pan; toss with hands to combine and coat the ribs with the sauce.
5. Cook uncovered for about 2-1/2 - 3 hours, or until the ribs are cooked to desired tenderness (check ribs after about 1-1/2 hours).
6. Delicious!

Well the name doesn't lie, they are really easy and quite delicious. I slightly overcooked mine, I wasn't watching close enough and let them cook for about 3 1/2 hours, but they were still great. The sauce is thin and we went back and forth with the idea of thickening it up a little and we left divided on the issue, I liked it thin and he thought maybe thicker would be nice. Easily accomplished with a little flour or cornstarch if one so desires. Next time I might add some crushed red pepper and make them sweet, sour & SPCIY! I also think I will cook them on low in the crockpot all day next time. Thanks Kitten!
