Crock Pot Country Ribs {Mississippi Style} Notes:

- As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. Your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

My wife loves slow cooker pork tenderloin, and I like big meaty ribs. That is all that needs to be said.
I have yet to try this dish. But just from looking at this dish the ribs looks as if itโs been on the grill first then added to the pot. I say this because of the burnt look of the ribs. Or is it that you leave it in the pot until itโs burnt? I think a part of the recipe is missing
They aren’t burnt. The darker parts you see in the pictures are from the seasonings in the recipe. Enjoy!
Are you making beef ribs here or pork? I have never made beef without liquid..thank you these sound delicious.
They are pork country ribs. Enjoy!
This turned out delicious ๐
Has anyone ever tried this recipe without the pepperoncinis? My fiancรฉ has this thing with peppersโฆhe hates them. When I mentioned this recipe, I just got a look lol. I told him he would be fine because they were just for flavor but just figured I would ask if anyone made it without before to see how good it isโฆ.
It’s absolutely amazing! You can always remove the peppers before serving. Or serve them all to yourself!
I make this recipe often . It is one of our favorite dishes. I use banana peppers instead of pepperoncinis. They donโt seem to have quite the heat and give dish an added flavor..I put in a large handful and spread them around the sides.
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!
Aunt Lou
I have made this recipe several times and I keep coming back to it. Love it. And itโs so easy! Iโm wondering though, what do you serve your with your ribs? I always have the hardest time choosing sides. Iโd 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!
Aunt Lou
A good low carb option is to serve these over cauliflower mash. (Mashed faux-potatoes) That’s what I do. And spoon that lovely juice on top! Excellent!
I always serve it with crock pot cabbage
Hi Amy I would put ribs over white rice or noodles with a veggie or salad and fresh bread to sop up the gravy! Yum!๐
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 itโs 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!
