Crock Pot Country Ribs {Mississippi Style} Notes:

So good and easy to boot!! I will definitely be making this recipe again.
For a gravy, I added the left over drippings and liquid to a packaged brown gravy mix and thickened with a little cornstarch. Yummy gravy with a definite kick, my peppercinis were on the hot side.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe as much as we do! Your gravy sounds delicious!
can these be done in the oven? I don’t like how meat cooks in a crock pot. Since you don’t add any water etc should I to do it in the oven?
We haven’t ever tried this recipe in the oven, so I can’t say how would be best to make it in the oven. If you give it a try, let us know how it goes!
Oh my so good! Didn’t change a thing. The tang from the peppercini was wonderful and meat came out fall off the bone. I trimmed some of the fat off the country ribs prior to putting in the crock pot but did everything else by the recipe. Served over rice with juices and green bean salad. Definite keeper!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Can you cook while ribs are partially frozen?
Food safety experts do not recommend cooking frozen (or partially frozen) food in a crock pot since it cooks at lower temperatures. If you have an instant pot/electric pressure cooker, it is safe to cook frozen meat in one. Here is a link to the Instant Pot recipe: https://www.recipesthatcrock.com/instant-pot-country-ribs-mississippi-style/.The recipe is for ribs that are not frozen, but you can use the same recipe with a longer cooking time for frozen or partially frozen ones. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!
Can I add in a liquid of any type?
Hi Janice!
I haven’t tried adding any liquid to this recipe, but you might be able to add some broth if you want. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!

I have made this recipe several times and I keep coming back to it. Love it. And it’s so easy! I’m wondering though, what do you serve your with your ribs? I always have the hardest time choosing sides. I’d love to hear the first thing that comes to mind and a low carb option, too.
Hi Amy!
I’m so glad you enjoy this recipe! For sides, we usually do some kind of potato and either corn or green beans. For a low carb side, you can find all of our low carb side dishes here: https://www.recipesthatcrock.com/recipe-index/?fwp_recipe_index_type=side-dishes&fwp_recipe_index_popular=low-carb Hope that helps!

Do the pepperoncini’s make the meat spicy? I have some people that cry about “hot” stuff.
Hi Dre!
I am a wimp when it comes to spicy foods. The pepperoncinis add flavor, but not much heat. Enjoy!
Aunt Lou
The recipe says to use 1/2 cup butter in the ingredient section and then says use 1/2 stick( which would be 1/4 cup) in the prep part. Which is it?
So sorry about that Sharpoh! It is 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter. I have fixed the recipe card. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!
Aunt Lou
Are you using boneless or bone in ribs? Thanks!
Hi Ashley!
Boneless. Enjoy!
~Aunt Lou
I put a small sliced onion in bottom. No sticking and we love it’s addition to the meal.
Great idea BJ! That sounds yummy!
~Aunt Lou
I have made this recipe twice and about to make it again today. I had no issues with anything sticking to the bottom. In fact I had a nice gravy that (I thickened up with a little roux mix) I could pour over mash potatoes that I served along with the pork. My family and my sisters family eats this up and fights for the last serving. I even served it to guests and they loved it. AWESOME recipe!! Thanks for sharing
That’s awesome Stephanie! Thank you so much for taking the time to come and leave such kind, uplifting words. It means so much to us!
Aunt Lou
I just put my pot of this on. This recipe mentions nothing whatsoever about adding water or anything so I added just a little bit just in case. We will see.
Just made ribs using this recipe. I prepared as the recipe stated & cooked overnight. They were stuck to the bottom of my crockpot. I think there needs to be more liquid in this recipe. The taste is good but they are dry & burnt.
Hi Jessica!
I’m sorry this didn’t turn out for you. It sounds like your slow cooker cooks faster than ours. We always recommend watching a recipe closely when trying it for the first time. If you try this recipe again, I would guess your ribs would be done closer to 6 hours than 8. I hope this helps.
Aunt Lou
I made these ribs this evening and OMG they are so tender, delicious, and has a good flavor. I seasoned the meat during the summer and froze them. I usually overcook pork and they always come out dry. I wanted to make sure I found a recipe and I search and found this one. Love this recipe.
Did you grill the rubes ahead of time?
Hi Jeana!
We did not grill them ahead of time. You just put them in the crock pot, follow the rest of the recipe instructions for adding the other ingredients and let the crock pot do the work! Enjoy!
