Crockpot Recipe of the Week: BBQ Riblets

BBQ RIBLETS (whole)

Ingredients:

1 package of pork riblets = $1.96

Dimples' Special marinade = $1.00

• - 2 tsp of red pepper flakes (adjustable to the level of heat you want in the dish)
  
• - 2 tsp of garlic powder
  
• - 2 tsp of onion powder
• - 2 tsp of salt free seasoning
• - 1 tsp of black pepper
  
• -2 tsp of chopped parsley
• -1/2 cup of italian dressing
  

Dimples' Special Low Sodium BBQ Sauce = $1.00 (or just use your own fav BBQ sauce)

• - 2 cups of low sodium ketchup
  
• - 2 capfuls of white vinegar
• - 1 tsp of chili powder
  
• - 2 tsp of garlic powder
  
• - 2 tsp of onion powder
• - 1/3 cup of brown sugar

TOTAL COST = $3.96 (approximate)


Prep Time = 5 minutes (marinading riblets overnight is optional)

Cook Time = 4 hours on high or 7 hours on low

Directions:

Make marinade. It should turn into a nice paste. Clean riblets and then put them into a gallon size ziplock bag. Pour in marinade. Close bag and massage riblets until they are thoroughly covered in the seasoning paste. You can either marinate your hen over night or just season with marinade right before putting the riblets into the crockpot. What ever fits your schedule. I marinated mine overnight. Make BBQ sauce. Place ribs into crockpot (without ziplock bag of course!). Pour BBQ on top. Turn on crockpot on at the high or low setting. Cover and let it cook.

This is how the riblets look after I added the marinade.

OMG! This smelled heavenly when I opened the door to my apartment. And it was soooo good. The meat was falling off the bones and it had just the perfect hint of heat and sweetness. I am so proud of myself. I served it with homemade mashed potatoes. My baby ate all of hers and wanted more.

Of course I saved the sauce that remained in the crockpot. It will make a great sauce on the salmon I will make later this week.

Yeah man! Ya girl can BURN!!
