I doubled the recipe. I also used 2 cans of Trader Joe's Tomato Sauce instead of the condensed tomato soup. I also boiled the meat for about 25 minutes to get out as much fat as I could. It was a rousing success! I served it over Asian noodles and 4 people finished it off - no leftovers! The meat was tender and moist. Excellent recipe and I will certainly cook this again!

We loved it and it smelled great cooking. I didn't have time to chop so I used dried onion and garlic. It cooked for 7 hours and was falling off the bone, great!

When boiling the ribs before they go into the crock pot add a can of clear pop like 7up or sprite to the water. This takes out most of the fat and gives your ribs a sweet taste. This was a great recipe when the grill is not available due to the harsh weather. Thanks

This version is very bland & way too much onion. Also, you don't need to boil the ribs first. All I do is cut the ribs in strips & place them into crock pot. I add my favorite barbeque sauce to the crock pot & cook for 4-6 hours on high or 6-8 hours on low. They are the best & very tender. Much more simpler to make.

I'll give this five stars but only because it's a easy recipe. I love garlic, but this is a bit much. Also, when you use canned tomato soup, you get exactly that taste ... canned soup!! Instead, just use your favorite BBQ sauce and forget all the other ingredients. It's a no-brainer. As for boiling the ribs before adding them to the slow cooker, it does help render some of the fat so you don't have greasy ribs.

My husband raved about this recipe! He's a meat and potatoes guy- and this was a first for me, I'd never made spare ribs before. I've been married for 12 yrs, and there aren't many firsts left! It was easy, just prepare and leave them until they're tender. I seared the ribs with a rub instead of boiling them, and added 2 cups of chicken broth to the crockpot. After they were done I boiled down the liquid to a sauce, even with the cornstarch I added our favorite BBQ to thicken it more. Potato salad and deviled eggs made a very fun fresh meal on a mild day with spring on it's way!

I have yet to try this recipe but I just know it will be awesome. The one thing I won't do tho' is boil the ribs, as they sit in their own fat. I always pre-cook them, no matter how I cook them but I steam them as there will be no water on them and steaming rids them of extra fat.

I made this recipe exactly as shown. What a great meal! The whole family enjoyed it. It was requested by my husband just a few days after making it the first time.

No knife required! This meat comes clean off the bone. I only wish that the sauce had some kick to it. I will definitely make this again, but I'll use some bold spices or hot peppers to liven it up a little.

If you like sticky, sweet, and delicious ribs - these ribs are not for you. The ribs were very tender but lacked flavor.

Fabulous! But I tweeked it a little. Doubled the recipe...except used 1 can tomato soup and 1 cup ketchup. Not a whole onion. Used 4 tbsp. of brown sugar and a splash of vinegar. Loved it.

I doubled this recipe and took the advice of other reviewers to cut back on the amount of onion used. However, I found it to be EXTREMELY garlicky when all was said and done. Don't know if I just had large cloves or if the recipe is meant to be that garlicky, but even for someone who loves garlic, it was almost too much to tolerate.

this was good. A little too tomatoey...probably because of the tomato soup. Next time I will use V8 instead for the extra flavor. I used ribs cut in half lengthwise and then cut between each bone. Only needed to be in the crockpot for 5 hours and still fell off the bone.

This recipe is AWSOME! I threw it together in minutes in the morning before work and let it cook on low all day (9 hours.) I did a few things differently, I didn't boil the ribs first and I added a little ketsup and bbq sauce to the tomato soup (I had more than 2lbs of ribs) I took the ribs out and put them on a foil lined cookie sheet and baked at 350 for 25 minutes just to crispen them a little. The meat fell right off the bone. DELICIOUS!!!!!!
