Spicy-Sweet Ribs and Beans Crock Pot image

I found this recipe in Southern Living! Yummy! I've prepared this the night before on low to have done for an early dinner! I did tweak it. The optional ingredients were added to the original recipe from Southern Living.

Time 6h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 (16 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained
4 lbs country-style pork ribs, trimmed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, diced (optional)
3 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
1/2 teaspoon cumin (optional)
1 (10 1/2 ounce) jar red jalapeno jelly (Used Ghost Pepper Jelly!)
1 (18 ounce) bottle hickory flavored barbecue sauce
1 teaspoon green chili sauce (Tabasco Makes a green Jalapeno sauce but use any hot sauce of choice)

Steps:

  • Place beans in a 5-quart electric slow cooker; set aside.
  • Cut ribs apart; sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Place ribs on a broiling pan. Besides browning for taste this removes some of the fat.
  • Broil 5 1/2 inches from heat 18 to 20 minutes or until browned, turning once.
  • Add ribs to slow cooker, and sprinkle with onion, garlic, and pepper.
  • Combine jelly, barbecue sauce, and hot sauce in a saucepan; cook over low heat until jelly melts. (I just added right to the beans and it melted in with no problem).
  • Pour over ribs; stir gently.
  • Cover and cook at HIGH 5 to 6 hours or at LOW 9 to 10 hours.
  • Remove ribs.
  • Drain bean mixture, reserving sauce.
  • Skim fat from sauce.
  • Arrange ribs over bean mixture; serve with sauce.
  • Serve on a bed of rice.
