Notes on Crock Pot Country Ribs – Bacon Ranch (Low Carb)
- We like to use these liners for our cookie sheets.
- As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
- Some broilers also cook a lot hotter than others. Watch very closely so you do not burn your ribs.
- According to our calculations, each serving contains approximately 1.6 net carbs using the ingredients we used.

Love your recipes
Debra Graner says
We are not fans of Ranch Dressing flavor.
Can you suggest a substitute for it in the Bacon-Wrapped Rib recipe, please?
sue kubecka says
Would a good bbq sauce w/maybe sr cream work as well
Cris says
Hi Debra!
I would probably sprinkle them with Lawry’s seasoning before wrapping them if you would prefer to not use the ranch mix. Enjoy!!

I was out of ranch so I used Lemon Pepper and it was DELICOUS.

I’m going to try either McCormick’s Cajun seasoning -OR- Goya Fajita seasoning next. I use the thick cut bacon from Costco.
