Questions & Reviews

Christina Nickles says:

Another great recipe! Yum!

Eric Pepple says:

Yummy! I love ribs as well, can’t wait to try these

Charlene says:

What can I substitute for the barbeque sauce? I can’t have anything with tomatoes in it because of a nightshade allergy.

Britney @ The Princess & Her Cowboys says:

These were delicious! Just tried them the other day and I’m a fan! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Linda Thwing says:

I use Hoisin Sauce. Most grocery stores carry it in the international aisle with the Asian foods.

Jennifer says:

I made these last night and my husband raved about them. He told me this was a definite add to our meal list. We loved the smoky flavor with a slight sweet finish. Thank you for this recipe. I am sharing this! It was easy and delicious!

Carla Hensley says:

Can I cook this recipe with ribs with bones in them ?

Sam says:

You list soy sauce in the instructions but not in the ingredient list. How much?

Cyd Adamson says:

Just scroll down to the recipe and honey is listed. It’s 3 Tablespoons. Hope this helps. Have a great weekend.

Tea says:

Will two pounds of ribs really feed six people?
Can I double this recipe in a six quart slow cooker? If yes, do I double everything? I’m curious if that would be too much beef broth.

Momma Cyd says:

If you double the meat, I would double most everything else. This will prevent drying out.

Dale Brown says:

Will beef ribs work well with this recipe?

Momma Cyd says:

You could use beef ribs, but remember that beef ribs have a higher fat content and pork ribs are much leaner. They are usually bigger so that will increase the cooking time.

Wvance says:

How long would you cook these in an aluminum foil pan on the grill

Bobbi @ Six Sisters says:

We haven’t tried this particular recipe on the grill however you could try using the same method as this recipe: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/241889/bbq-ribs-on-the-grill/
