Great for guests. Always a hit...tasty & tender fall off the bone. I have made with store-bought bbq sauce which also tastes great but I prefer to use the BBQ sauce here. My husband loves these and no longer orders ribs at restaurants.

I added a teaspoon of liquid smoke and was rewarded with spare ribs that tasted as good as the real deal. And my grill was not going to be fired up today with snow on the ground, I'm not that hard core. And don't just dump that braising liquid, I peeled some potatoes and boiled them in it while the meat was in the oven. Best boiled spuds ever!

I made it with a different sauce, and I used 2 bottles of beer. But wow, the meat is falling off onto my plate leaving a clean bone behind!!!!! These are the best ribs I've ever had in my life! Thank you

We cooked these ribs up on a Sunday afternoon and they were delicious. Our 1 year old is a very picky eater and she was screaming for more when we let her taste them.

I too cheated with what I had on hand, bottled bbq sauce, beer, dehydrated onion. These directions were easy and I agree that the beer was a great idea. Our ribs were terrific. Our picky children loved them. After they were finished cooking, I did stick them under the broiler for a quick coloring, about 5 minutes, it colored the bones up really nice. Thank you!

I adapted this recipe for (oven) pulled BBQ chicken. (I'd never made it before so I really appreciated the help from the original recipe & from the reviewers.) I marinated the chicken in beer for about an hour, then simmered it in the beer/water mix described here for a little over an hour. I used a bottled BBQ sauce, but added some lemon juice and dehydrated onions. Then I used the pan I'd seared the chicken in to brown some garlic. Then I added the sauce and simmered it for about 1/2 hour. Then I covered the chicken with the sauce and baked at 200 for almost an hour. I shredded the chicken and mixed it up with the sauce. It turned out FANTASTIC and I will use this again in the future.

These ribs turned out great! It was the first time I had made ribs, and simmering them in the beer mixture gave them a wonderful flavor. I just used a bottled barbeque sauce, but at some point I'm going to make the one listed here. Bit hit with the husband.

this was the first time I've made ribs and they were a huge hit! Thank you! Great recipe!

Wonderful ribs for a cold and rainy day. The kids usually won't eat homemade ribs and with this recipe 5# wasn't enough.

Yum!! I will definitely use this as my rib recipe. I tweaked it quite a bit because I had to use what was left in my cupboards. I substituted tomato sauce for the diced tomatos, brown sugar for the molasas, lemon juice for the lemons, and BBQ sauce for the Worchestire. I simmered them for only 1 hour and 15 minutes before cooking them in the oven because my ribs were boneless. They were so tender & the sauce was perfect. Thanks for sharing this!

The ribs cooked up nicely in the crockpot (loved the beer addition!). We just weren't too crazy about the BBQ sauce that went over them. They would have been better just using a bottled brand. Sorry.

I, too, am from Montana, and I was in a pinch. Wow what a great recipe for a bbq craving in sub zero weather. Thanks, Clint:)

Love this recipe. I've made it several times and it always turns out great. (Especially when it's cold out).

They just melted in your mouth. I also had everything in the house to make them

Very good recipe. I like my sauce a little sweeter so I added some brown sugar to taste.

Unreal, myself and friends indulged in many pounds of these ribs, during a canadian summer where we indulge in beer, this recipe scored high marks among everyone in attendance.

I NEVER DO MY RIBS IN THE OVEN ONLY ON THE BBQ BUT WITH IT BEING SO COLD HERE I DECIDED TO TRY THE RECEIPE. These WERE THE BEST RIBS I HAVE HAD THE SAUCE IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!!

Very tender (even before 2-1/2 hours cook time), and faster to prepare/cook than some of the other rib recipes that require marinating overnight or 3-hour cook times.

This was a great way to prepare ribs. I was lazy and just opened a bottle of bbq sauce and they still turned out fall off the bone tender and delicious.
