Crock Pot BBQ Ribs: An Easy Weeknight Meal

Crock pot meals are great to have because they're quick and convenient. I often have trouble finding recipes aside from the traditional chili or pot roast, however this recipe for Crock Pot BBQ Ribs is as easy as it gets.

Simply combine your ingredients in a crock pot and cook it on low until your ribs are cooked through and tender. The ingredients are minimal, making this a perfect weeknight meal when you're on the go and need something ready for you when you walk in the door.

Not only is this dish easy to prepare, but it's also extremely convenient. It can be assembled in the morning before you head out to work or the night before and refrigerated to allow the ribs to marinate.

No matter what your reason is, this recipe is one to try as the crisp fall weather approaches. You and your family are sure to enjoy this comfort food dish time and time again.
