Crock Pot Pork Back Ribs w/ Scalloped Red Potatoes and Green Beans

Dinner Tonight: Crock Pot Pork Back Ribs w/ Scalloped Red Potatoes and Green Beans





Sunday afternoon and Football is back! Opening week of the NFL and it was couch potato heaven! College football started last week and now the big boys have fired it up. Nice relaxing day of football most of the day. For dinner tonight my Mom bought some Ribs yesterday so today it was Ribs! I prepared Crock Pot Pork Back Ribs w/ Scalloped Red Potatoes and Green Beans. I also baked a loaf of Sourdough Bread for Mom and Dad.





The ribs came from Kroger, they always have top quality Pork. Last night before I went to bed I cut the Ribs in half, so they’ll fit in the Crock Pot, and put each half in a Hefty Gallon Plastic Bag then covered the Ribs in JB’s Fat Boy Hawg Waush BBQ Sauce to marinate all night in the fridge. Then this morning I got out the Crock Pot, lined it with a Reynold’s Crock Pot Plastic Liner, and sprayed that with Pam Non-Stick Spray. Got the Ribs out of the fridge, discarded the Hefty Bags, and put them in the Crock Pot where I let them cook and simmer, on low,e. for about 8 hours. Long up in the afternoon you can start smelling the aroma of the Ribs, intoxicating! After 8 hours their ready and now for the hard part of cooking them, getting them out whole without breaking them up! Their that tender, when eating them you need no knife, the bones just slide out. Tender, moist and just full of flavor! For all of us JB’s Fat Boy Sauces and Rubs can’t be beat. The Ribs were incredible! Plus I love using that Crock Pot, no mess and with the plastic liner in the Crock Pot no clean-up. Just wipe it down and store it for the next time.





For one side dish I prepared Idahoan Premium Steakhouse Scalloped Red Potatoes. As all the Idahoan Potato Products the Scalloped Red Potatoes are easy to fix and a delicious Potato Dish. The box contains the Potatoes, Sauce, and Crunchy Onion Topping. I added 2 Tbsp. of Butter, 1/2 cup 2% Milk, and Water. Just mix all the ingredients, pre-heat the oven to 450 degrees, and bake uncovered for about 25 minutes. Let it set for 5 minutes before serving, that lets the Sauce thicken up. I also heated up some Del Monte Cut Green Beans and I baked a loaf of Sour Dough Bread for Mom and Dad, I passed on the Bread to save on the carbs and calories. One fine meal that everyone enjoyed! For dessert later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Jolly Time Pop Corn.
