Preparing for Baby #3 with 2 Months of Freezer Meals - Ribs with Rice

Ribs with Rice - Makes 3 Meals

Last week I got a great deal on country style ribs at the grocery store and decided to make it into 3 crockpot meals. This is adapted from my Mom's ribs which are still one of my favorite meals. We serve them over rice, with broccoli on the side-so delicious! Enjoy!

Ingredients: 

10-12 country style pork ribs (bone-in)

3 T oil

3 cup Open Pit Original BBQ sauce

6 T brown sugar

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce

                                                       What to do:

 First, divide the ribs between the ones you are making today and place the rest in plastic bags.

 Then, brown the ribs in oil. 

 Meanwhile, mix all the other ingredients in a bowl. Place browned ribs in crockpot and pour 1/3 of all other ingredients over the ribs in the crockpot.

Divide the rest of the sauce mixture and pour into plastic bags. 

Cook ribs in crockpot for 6-8 hours on low. 

Day of cooking freezer meals:

Thaw overnight in refrigerator. Pour contents of plastic bag into crockpot and cook on low 6-8 hours or until falling off the bone.
