COUNTRY-STYLE BARBECUE RIBS

Country-Style Barbecue Ribs image

These get a good sear under the broiler, then go into the slow cooker to become fall-apart tender. Enjoy them with great sides, or shredded on a bun. Either way, they're the most amazing ribs you'll ever have. -Shannon Copley, Upper Arlington, Ohio
