Comments:

These ribs were fantastic, although not all that spicy; I'm sure that all depends on which barbeque sauce you use in the first place! Like many CrockPot recipes, it was also incredibly easy. We didn't make the full 6 lbs. of ribs; 4 (two 2-lb. packages) was plenty for me and Scott, plus Mum and Kasey, who joined us for Sunday dinner (and we each had multiple pieces). I love ribs (as does Scott, obviously), but not all the work it takes to both cook and eat them. . .this recipe solved both problems!
