Crock Pot Ribs!

I usually slow-bake my ribs in the oven. But there is nothing better than a “fix it and forget it” meal! Being able to start your dinner in the morning and freeing up your day is priceless!! This crock pot rib recipe is really good and super simple.

To make this Crock Pot rib recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

Ribs (pork or beef)

2 cups bbq sauce + extra to brush

1 cup ketchup

3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (you can substitute white vinegar)

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 tsp Worcestershire

dash of hot sauce

salt and pepper to taste

Start by putting your ribs in a single layer on a baking sheet. Salt & Pepper to taste. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes, then turn them over and bake another 15 minutes. This process will render the extra juice from the meat so the ribs do not BOIL in the crock pot.

In a medium sized bowl, combine bbq sauce,

ketchup,

vinegar,

brown sugar,

Worcestershire,

and hot sauce. Mix well.

Place browned ribs in the crock pot.

Pour your sauce over the ribs, and cook on high for 4-6 hours or low for 8-10 hours.

After the ribs are ready, brush with remaining bbq sauce. Broil in your oven until bbq sauce gets caramelized!

Fall off the bone tender!!

Chicken Parmesan Recipe!

Chicken Parmesan is a true Italian comfort food! It is great to serve at a dinner party. I love to eat Chicken Parmesan, with a fresh green salad and some crunchy garlic bread! It is time consuming, but Chicken Parmesan can be made days in advance. I make 2 batches and freeze one for another meal!

To make this Chicken Parmesan Recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

8 (3-ounces each) chicken cutlets

1/2 cup flour

3 eggs beaten

2 cups Italian style bread crumbs

vegetable oil for frying (you can bake them too, but they’re better fried!)

2-4 cups mozzarella cheese (depending on how much cheese you like)

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (Grated fresh, not from a green can)

quart and 1/2 (48 oz) Marinara sauce

Please try and make your own marinara, it is easy and cost effective. If you must use jarred sauce, find a quality sauce like Rao’s)

Depending on how think your chicken breasts are, place them under plastic wrap and pound until thin. If you don’t have a meat pounder, use a heavy pot of skillet. You can also fillet these with a knife.

Get 3 pie plates or containers. Put flour in one, beaten eggs in one and bread crumbs in one.

Dredge chicken breast in flour,

then in the egg wash,

and then the bread crumbs.

Fry cutlets in vegetable oil over med heat.

Fry until golden brown.

Spread a little marinara on the bottom of a 13×9 baking dish.

Make a layer of chicken.

Add more marinara. Use most of the first quart.

Add a layer of the cheeses.

Repeat layers.

Sprinkle parsley over last layer of cheese.

Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven covered for 35 minutes. uncover and bake until top is bubbly!

Enjoy!!
