Excellent! My DH raved at how flavorful and tender the meat was. I actually put this together in my crock pot Sunday afternoon and refrigerated until Tuesday morning before work. I put the crock in the base and turned to low and let it cook all day while I was at work. What a heavenly scent to come home to. I loved that these are ingredients I have on hand (with the exception of the ribs) and can whip it up on a whim. I served this with Recipe #381017 for an extraordinary meal that was nearly zero effort after a long day at work. Thanks for sharing. DH has already said I can make this again soon :)

This recipe is simple to prepare recipe but my family prefers BBQ flavoured ribs. They enjoyed the tenderness of the ribs but dipped each rib in BBQ sauce and ate it that way defeating my efforts for something different. Thanks for posting Greg, I had 3 easy meals with this recipe.

This turned our nicely, a tad sweet for us, but something I will fix again with adjustments. I will either leave out or cut in half the brown sugar, adding some vegetables such as carrots, celery, maybe some bell peppers or pea pods. I thought about fixing this in the last moments so I used frozen pork, it worked but I would not do that again, what I would do is brown the meat prior to putting it in the crock. Thank you Greg in San Diego for posting this repeater.
