OMFG Ribs

When Erin and I were at Pal's the other afternoon, they had pork side ribs on sale. We used to go to Montana's with my parents whenever they came in for birthdays and such, I always ordered ribs because I have this policy in restaurants of ordering things that would normally be too much bother at home.

Anyway, the whole package of ribs was about $5.50 so I thought I could probably find a crockpot version. From Allrecipes:

* 4 pounds pork baby back ribs
* salt and pepper to taste
* 2 cups ketchup
* 1 cup chili sauce
* 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
* 4 tablespoons vinegar
* 2 teaspoons dried oregano
* 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
* 1 dash hot sauce

Put the ribs on a broiler pan, salt & pepper both sides. Bake at 400F for 15 minutes, flip them over and bake for another 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix the rest of the ingredients into a barbecue sauce. I cut the ribs up into sections and put them into the crockpot. Pour the sauce over to coat and cook on Low for 6-8 hours.

The place smelled amazing when I got back this afternoon. I made up some creamy garlic pasta (otherwise known as a package of Sidekicks (I'm trying to get rid of them.))
