Slow Cooker Short Ribs

It’s the perfect Sunday night dinner idea idea and is also perfect for entertaining. Serve it with mashed potatoes, rice or any other starch and you’ll have a full meal.

I am loving my slow cooker! Throw a bunch of ingredients in, turn it on and he does all of the work. The smells from my kitchen linger all day and makes me want to dream of dinner time.

My favorite thing to cook inside it has got to be beef. It just comes out so juicy, tender and with a great sauce. Braising it’s definitely the way to go. The secret is to sear the meat in a skillet first before putting it inside the crock pot.

The only problem with my crock pot is that is a tad small. I am thinking in investing in a bigger one so I can make extra for leftovers. There are so many models to choose from that it’s hard to make up my mind. If you have one that you love please let me know.

This week’s things are starting to slow down. My husband is not racing, I don’t have any blogging events, so I am just looking forward to keep on cooking and testing out new recipes. Last week they had fun with the

Last week they had fun with the Guinness Beer bread and slow cooker beef roast. Also, I am making my monthly stock from scratch. I freeze them out in little containers so my daughters have soup all month long. They love eating it with letter-shaped pasta.

I hope you can make this delicious Slow Cooker Short Ribs at home. If you do, please come back and let me know how it comes out.
