Very good flavour, easy prep, and effortless cooking. My ribs got fairly overcooked, as I set the slow cooker and couldn't get back to it until the cooking time was almost done. I'm not sure if there wasn't enough liquid, or it was simply too much time. Regardless, after picking out the few frazzled ones, the rest were more or less fine. I'm not sure what Heinz chili sauce is like, but I used 1/4 cup of the Asian chili sauce we buy in Chinatown, and that was almost too hot. The full 3/4 cup would have been nasty! I think I'll make these again, but I'll definitely have to figure out the cooking time a little more.

I prepared them for my husband as I'm not a "rib fan" and then was unexpectedly called out of town for a few days. Fortunately I left him with a pot full of his favorite food, which he thoroughly enjoyed. I worried that there was not enough liquid in the pot while cooking, but it was a success--good flavor, tender, moist.

I'm a landscape contractor in the Washington Metro area. I design, install, maintain trees and booshes. Since my Sweetie Pie often comes home late from work, I also do the cooking. I'm running out of ideas on what to cook every day and then I found the Recipe Zaar.
