EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

For smaller pieces, ask the butcher to cut the racks across the bones, especially if the ribs are longer than 3 1/2 to 4 inches. Racks of ribs will vary in size, depending on the size of the animal.

Serve with chunks of blue cheese and celery sticks.

These were awesome! I used a slow cooker once & it didn't come out too good, but these were so good. I had to substitute a few ingredients, but they still delicious. My son loves them! And now I'm going to do a lot more slow cooking, especially in the colder months!
