Slow Cooker Maple BBQ Short Ribs

Slow Cooker Maple BBQ Short Ribs

If you’ve been to our open sugarhouse weekends, you may have tried a sample of this delicious short rib recipe. I’m convinced that if you’ve never had short ribs, you have to try this yummy cut of beef!

It can be roasted and grilled other ways, but in our busy farm life, I can count on this recipe to have dinner waiting in the slow cooker when we get home. We’ve served it over nachos, on taco salad, or as a main dish. Great sides are cornbread, garden salad, mac and cheese, or roasted brussel sprouts. Enjoy!
