Another great recipe! Yum!
Yummy! I love ribs as well, can’t wait to try these
What can I substitute for the barbeque sauce? I can’t have anything with tomatoes in it because of a nightshade allergy.
These were delicious! Just tried them the other day and I’m a fan! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I use Hoisin Sauce. Most grocery stores carry it in the international aisle with the Asian foods.
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!
Can I cook this recipe with ribs with bones in them ?
You list soy sauce in the instructions but not in the ingredient list. How much?
Just scroll down to the recipe and honey is listed. It’s 3 Tablespoons. Hope this helps. Have a great weekend.
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.
If you double the meat, I would double most everything else. This will prevent drying out.
Will beef ribs work well with this recipe?
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.
How long would you cook these in an aluminum foil pan on the grill
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/
