Crock Pot Honey-Mustard BBQ Short Ribs or Pot Roast

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This is so easy to put together, and great served with cooked noodles. I have many crock pot recipes that I have collected over the years, and this is one of them, hope you enjoy! Please adjust amounts to taste. Double the sauce amount if using more than 3 pounds of beef. Add in a sliced onion also if desired. This will also work well with a small beef blade roast, you might want to brown the roast firstly before adding to the crock pot and double the sauce amount, cook until the roast is fork-tender."

I decided to make this too late for a crock pot, so I browned my short ribs (mine were boneless) and double the sauce and baked for 3 hours at 325 degrees. I added one beer to mine because I was afraid the sauce would burn because of the thickness of the sauce and the higher temp I was using. WOW! These were delicious! It was a testiment to my will power not to break into them before dinner. OK, I snuck a little piece :)

Love this recipe...I will fix this over and over again for my family. The meat just falls off the bone. I used spicy brown mustard instead of Dijon, and Bulls Eye original BBQ sause, and man was this tasty!!! Love It!!!!

The praise of the other reviews really says it. Extraordinary flavour and texture. I lightly simmered (meaty+++) ribs for 5 minutes: to what difference, I don't know. Off the rib and then onto Papadelle: mirabile!
