Crock Pot Pork Back Ribs w/ Potatoes Au Gratin and Green Beans

Dinner Tonight: Crock Pot Pork Back Ribs w/ Potatoes Au Gratin and Green Beans





Started my Sunday morning off with a toasted Healthy Life Whole Grain English Muffin that I lightly buttered with I Can't Belive It's Not Butter. Also so had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. After I had Breakfast I went to McDonald's and picked Mom and Dad's Breakfast up for them, they love McD's Breakfasts. Mom went on to Church and I stayed home with Dad. We can't leave him home by himself for very long anymore. So I did some heavy duty house cleaning. Everything done I got the cart out for an afternoon ride. Nice day out, mostly sunny and 72 degrees. Later on it was NFL Football for the day! For Dinner tonight it's Moms favorite, Crock Pot Pork Back Ribs. I prepared Crock Pot Pork Back Ribs w/ Potatoes Au Gratin and Green Beans.


i was planning to have a Bison Chopped Steak but Mom came in from going to the local Kroger and
had a slab of Pork Back Ribs. So the menu changed from Chopped Steak to Ribs! Last night before I went to bed I cut the Ribs in half, so they’ll fit in the Crock Pot, and then seasoned them with JB Fat Boy Premium All-Purpose Rub. Put each half in a Hefty Gallon Plastic Bag  and then covered the Ribs in JB’s Fat Boy Haug 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, 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 little to no clean-up. Just wipe it down and store it for the next time.




For side dishes I prepared some Idahoan Au Gratin Homestyle Casserole. I left the Idahoan Product
info and instructions at the end of the post. Then I heated up a can Del Monte Cut Green Beans and baked some Pillsbury Reduced Calorie Crescent Rolls. For dessert a bowl of Dole Sliced Peaches.
