Steps

  • 1
    Spray 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Heat 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season ribs with salt and pepper. Cook ribs in two batches, on all sides 2 to 3 minutes per side, until browned. Transfer ribs to slow cooker; discard fat and drippings.

    With slotted spoon or tongs, carefully remove ribs to serving platter. In small microwavable bowl, heat remaining 1/4 cup barbecue sauce covered on High 30 to 60 seconds or until heated through. Brush ribs with heated barbecue sauce; garnish with sliced green onions. Serve with mashed potatoes.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For this recipe, ask your butcher for traditional English-style ribs instead of the thinner Korean-style ribs. For individual ribs, as suggested in the ingredient deck, cut between the bones for sections that have one bone each.
  • tip 2
    For easier cleanup when browning short ribs, cover skillet with splatter shield to catch some of the splattering grease.
