Shiz Can't Cook Series: Crock Pot BBQ Short Ribs

So we received a Crock Pot from Ichigo (she won it at a bingo game).

じゅるる made a beef stew(?) the other day. Came out pretty yummy.

We were looking through the instruction booklet & it mentioned making BBQ ribs using the Crock Pot. Really?

So we went out and bought beef short ribs (on sale at Ralphs) and two bottles of BBQ sauce, and dumped them into the Crock Pot along w/ chopped onions. Just like the instructions said.


And the ribs simmered in the Crock Pot overnight.
Smelled wonderful...
But came out kinda black...?


And the taste...
It's a bit vinegar-y (I would have preferred it sweeter), and a bit fatty (maybe we should have burned off the fat by pre-grilling the ribs?), and a bit chewy on the edges (should have constantly turned the meat pieces around in the pot)... but not so bad. The meat came out super tender.

We'll try it again next time w/ less time in the Crock Pot and more meat.
