Ribs are one of my most favorite things to make in the crock. They end up very moist, tender and not as messy. Very kid friendly. This recipe has a very delicious sauce that sticks well to the ribs and the country style rib is a great sized rib that gives a good size of meat. The country style rib also doesn’t need to be cut into multiple pieces like a rack of ribs do, for the freezer bags (and to fit in your crock). If you are going to be freezing this before cooking, you may want to have an extra bag on hand in case the meat and sauce seem bigger then the first bag will hold. For those doing the freezer version, I would purchase this fresh not frozen. I find that fresh meat works better for the freezer meals.
We enjoyed the ribs quite a bit and the only drawback is we wished we had more. Easily I could of doubled the batch and everyone would of finished those off as well.

Notes
Crock-Pot Freezer Meal Instructions:
- Mix all of wet and dry ingredients except for ribs, in a bowl.
- Place part of ribs in a freezer bag (I would suggest not a slider bag, and I would use a name brand bag).
- Pour some of the sauce on the ribs and squish around.
- If you have room in that bag, add the rest of the ribs/if you don’t, use another bag.
- Pour the rest of the sauce on the ribs, and get them covered as well.
- Lay them flat and squeeze as much air out as possible.
- Lay flat in the freezer.
- Thaw before cooking in crock.
- Follow rest of the instructions as applicable.
Do I add anymore liquid too this when I put it in the crock pot?
Nope, just what is in the recipe, otherwise you’ll have goopy ribs.
Yep, what Sarah said. I didn’t add any extra liquid and mine still came out pretty goopy just because the ribs released so much liquid (halfway up the second layer). Country style ribs have a lot of meat on them and will provide plenty without adding anything else.
Can you substitute beef ribs for the pork ribs? Does it change cook time/recipe any?
I think that would be perfectly fine. Although beef ribs tend to be a bit smaller I really doubt it will change the time at all. I think they will taste great.
