OMG Crock Pot Ribs

[via]

These ribs are so good I've coined them "OMG Ribs".  Because that's what I was proclaiming as I gobbled down this meal.  I broke out my slow cooker recently (as there's now a chill in the Chicago air), and I'm a bit obsessed.  I'm thinking a slow-cook meal once a week is a definite must.  I know I'm stating the obvious to many, but if you haven't gotten on the slow cook bandwagon you absolutely must give it a try!  What is not to love about throwing ingredients in the pot, letting them simmer all day while you enjoy the aromas filling your home, and then sitting down to a tasty meal that tastes like you slaved for hours?

OMG Ribs {aka Korean Ribs}
from Make it Fast, Cook it Slow
Serves 4

ingredients::
4 lbs ribs (I used beef flank ribs, but short ribs work too)
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup gluten-free soy sauce
1/2 cup water
5 whole jalapeno peppers

preparation::
In a 6-quart or larger slow cooker, put the ribs in the pot.  Add the brown sugar, soy sauce, water, and whole jalapenos (don't cut them! leave them whole).
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, flipping once.  If you're out of the house all day, flip them when you get home so the other side of the ribs gets saturated while you change your clothes and set the table.  Serve with rice and veggies.

OMG!
