Honey Barbecued Ribs

I got this recipe from a friend Megan!  We just got a 1/2 pig from my Dad and I've never really made Ribs.  But, being that I have some packs in the freezer, this recipe looked like the perfect way to try them!  Thanks Megan!

Honey Barbecued Ribs:

3 lbs boneless pork ribs

Cook in crockpot on high for 3 ish hours covered then drain and discard liquid. Reduce the heat to low.

In a bowl combine:
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1C Ketchup
1/2 C brown sugar
1/2 C honey
1/4 C spicy brown mustard
2T Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tsp liquid smoke ( do not leave out!!)
Mix well. Pour over ribs in the crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 3 more hours. Remove from crockpot. If you want to freeze any let it cool completely then place in freezer bags. Makes 8 servings.

I serve over white steamed rice, but you could do any type of potatoes.

Cafe Rio Sweet Pork

Approx 4 lb pork roast

Rub roast with the following mixture:
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbs. brown sugar
1 tsp. red pepper
1 tsp. cumin

Place roast in crockpot.

Combine:
1 onion chopped
1 cup chicken broth
1 can coke
2 cloves minced garlic

Pour over roast.

Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Shred pork and put back in crockpot. Add 2-3 cups brown sugar.

Cook for another 3 hours.

I actually put my roast in last night at around midnight and let it cook all night. Around 10 this morning I shredded the pork and added the brown sugar. Now I am letting it cook until we are ready to celebrate tonight.

Rathskeller Pork

I got this recipe from my mother. She made it the other night and had Scott and I over for dinner and it was A-FREAKING-MAZING! I'm not even joking. It was so yummy. I really loved cooked cabbage, so I personally will put like 1/2 to 3/4 of a cabbage head in when I make it.

4 to 5 pork steaks (approx 3/4" thick)

1 tbs salad oil

1 can cream of asparagus soup

1/2 c. chopped green onions

1 1/2 tsp seasoned salt

1/2 tsp seasoned pepper

1/4 cup water

4 potatoes, sliced

1/2 bunch asparagus (optional)

2 cups shredded cabbage ( I personally like way more then this! )

1/2 cup whipping cream

In a large skillet, brown chops in oil on both sides. Drain off excess fat. Combine undiluted soup with onions, seasoned salt, pepper, and water. Arrange alternate layers of meat, potatoes, cabbage, and asparagus in slow cooker. Pour soup mixture over. Cover and cook on low 6-8 hours or on high for 3 - 3 1/2 hours. Add whipping cream, cover and cook on high for another 20 minutes.

Yummy! Serve with rolls!

Note: Costco sells really great pork steaks. They come in packs of 9 pork chops for about $15.00. They are awesome!
