Sweet!

Today, I needed to crock something that required little effort. Something that I could do with no brain. Something that I could (theoretically) handle if I, say, had contractors coming to work on the house in the morning, had to unexpectedly leave the house for an hour or two in the afternoon for a showing, AND had a VERY clingy/whiny/teething little helper to care for and otherwise entertain.

You know...the kind of meal crock pots are MADE FOR.

"Cook Like a Dad's Crock Pot Ribs" (6 quart pot)

The original is HERE.

~2.5 lbs pork baby back ribs
~16 oz light brown sugar
~2 liter bottle of Dr. Pepper

Shove ribs into crock pot. (I had to MAKE them fit.)
Pour sugar and soda over ribs.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.

3 servings.

These were REALLY good, but ridiculously sweet. (Imagine that.) Possibly even too sweet. (Did I just type those words? Who am I and what have I done with myself?) The original crocker suggested dipping them into bbq sauce. I, once again, missed that part. Oops. BBQ sauce probably would have helped. Ah well. If you like sweet ribs, you should make this. And then YOU can chase your sugar/caffeinated kids all over the house.

For the record, my little helper didn't have any and we were STILL chasing him around the house.

It's been THAT kind of day.

Don't forget to vote for my buffalo chicken mac and cheese today! Link is HERE. I'm WINNING! Let's keep it that way, shall we?
