The secret of this - brown ribs before you put them in the crock pot! Brown food tasts good - food can't get brown in a cockpot. I suggest if you are cooking this on a week night and have to go to work the next day. Prep this the night before and put it all in the cock pot as you are walking out the door the next day!
