Delicious Recipe for Slow Cooked Pork Ribs

Pork ribs are a favorite meal, but sometimes cooking them exactly right can be a challenge. If you have ever tried your best to cook pork ribs but still failed, then you really should take a look at this yummy slow cooker pork rib recipe.

The history of slow cooking pork began long ago, although the exact origins are rather hazy. In the period before the Civil War in the US, pork was a main stay in the average diet. Hogs were easy to raise, and every part of the animal was utilized, leaving nothing to waste. As a result, the barbecue became a popular event in communities, especially on plantations, with everyone taking part in some way. Not to be left out, politicians as well took advantage of the 'neighborhood' barbecue event and used them as a way to gain voters loyalty.

Pork loin cuts of meat are where you will find the tender, lean pork cuts. Because they are so lean, pork loin can easily dry out if cooked too long. This however, does not need to be a concern if cooked in a slow cooker with the right amount of liquid or sauce.

While your pork ribs are slowly cooking along, why not add a nice side of home-made potato salad to the menu? There are many kinds of potato salad to choose from, but one of my favorites is the basic American style potato salad that will be a great addition to your pork ribs dinner.

Easy Slow Cooked Pork Ribs

3 lbs country-style boneless pork ribs
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup apple butter
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Rub salt and pepper on ribs. Place in the slow cooker. Cover with onions. Mix remaining ingredients and pour over onions. Cover and cook on low for 9 hours.

Basic American Potato Salad

4 cups russet potatoes cooked, peeled
1 cup celery, chopped
1 cup onions, chopped
5 eggs hard-cooked, chopped
1/2 cup sweet pickles chopped
2 tablespoons pimento chopped
2 teaspoons salt
Black pepper to taste
3/4 to 1 cup mayonnaise real

In a large bowl combine potatoes, celery, onion, eggs, pickles, pimento, salt, and pepper. Gently stir mayo into potato mixture, do not mash the potatoes. For best results: cover and chill for an hour before serving.

Your next family get-together or bbq will be a huge hit with these delicious foods. Enjoy!

Make your next barbecue an easy event by slow cooking your pork ribs. Find more slow cooker or crock pot recipes at http://familycrockpotrecipes.com.

Delicious Slow Cooker and Crockpot Recipes: Steak With Vegetable Gravy or Veggie Chowder

Whether you are a very busy cook who needs to use your crockpot or slowcooker to save time or you just enjoy knowing you can have your meal ready in minutes when you are ready to eat, these crockpot or slowcooker recipes are sure to become family favorites. The Round Steak with Vegetable Gravy is almost a meal by itself. Add a salad and crusty bread, if desired, and you are ready to feel your family a nutritious and hearty meal. The Veggie Chowder is perfect for those who prefer vegetables without meat. If you are a strict vegetarian and don't want to use the chicken and beef bouillon, you can substitute an equal quantity of vegetable broth.

ROUND STEAK WITH VEGETABLE GRAVY

3/4 cup finely chopped carrot
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
1 (2 lb) round steak about 3/4-inch thick
salt and pepper
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup catsup
1 tbsp cider vinegar
1/2 cup cold water
2 tbsp all-purpose flour

In crockpot or slowcooker put the carrot, onion, celery and bell pepper. Trim excess fat from the round steak and cut it into 6 equal-sized pieces. Place the meat atop the vegetables. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Combine the catsup with the 1/3 cup of water and vinegar; pour mixture over the steak. Place lid on the pot and cook on low setting for 8 to 10 hours.

Remove the meat from the cooker. Skim the excess fat from the cooking liquid then pour the vegetable/liquid mixture into a saucepan. Return the meat to the cooking pot.

Slowly pour the cold water into the flour blending well; stir into the vegetable mixture. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Place the meat on a serving platter. Spoon some of the gravy over the meat. Pass the remaining gravy, if others want more. Serves 6 to 8 people.

VEGGIE CHOWDER

1 can stewed tomatoes, chopped, undrained
3 stalks celery, diced
2 medium potatoes, diced
2 carrots, sliced
2 medium onions
1 can green beans, drained
1 can corn, drained
1 can peas
2 beef bouillon cubes
2 chicken bouillon cubes

How to Make a Delicious Farmer's Ham Loaf

Combining ground ham and lean ground pork into a ham loaf makes a very tasty treat. One of my late aunts used to make delicious ham loaf and this recipe is pretty close to what she made. She was a delightful aunt who could turn any kind of leftovers into a delicious meal and this is how her ham loaf came to be. This recipe has a sweet and sour sauce that only adds to the delicious flavor of this loaf. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup of Splenda brown sugar blend which makes it suitable for diabetics. If you don't need to watch your sugar intake, you can use 1 cup of brown sugar instead. This is an updated version of an old, old recipe. This recipe is very suitable for diabetics, too.

FARMER'S HAM LOAF

2 lbs ground ham

2 lbs ground lean pork

1 cup fine dry bread crumbs

2 eggs

1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl combine the ground ham, ground pork, and the bread crumbs. In a small bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the milk. Add the milk, egg mixture to the meat blend. Mix together well and form into a loaf. Place loaf in a pan.

Sauce:

1/2 cup Splenda brown sugar blend

1 tbsp prepared mustard

1/2 cup cider vinegar

1/2 cup water

Place all the sauce ingredients into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to blend and melt the Splenda blend. Pour the sauce over the ham loaf. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, basting with the sauce frequently.

Soup - A Delicious Crab & Corn Bisque

I still remember when my workmate told me she'd be bringing me a crab bisque soup the next day. She had gotten the recipe from her mother in law and it was one of her favorites. Once I tried the soup, I knew I wanted to take that recipe and alter it to my families taste.

In a saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. While the recipe says you can use either butter or margarine, there is a taste difference and I prefer the butter taste. Once melted, stir in two cups of milk and two cups of whipping cream. Add salt, white pepper and mace (a seasoning found in most grocery stores) to taste. Continue heating on medium heat until almost boiling. Stir as the soup heats. Next, add in 1/4 cup of finely chopped celery, one can of corn, drained and 1/4 cup of cracker crumbs. Reduce heat and simmer for about ten minutes. Add in one pound of imitation crab meat and two tablespoons of sherry. Heat through and serve.

I'd like to share one more variation of this soup using chicken broth:

4 cups chicken broth
1 pound imitation crab meat
2 cans creamed corn
2 cups chopped celery
2 cups chopped onion
½ cup chopped carrots
2 cups heavy cream
Salt, pepper and Tabasco to taste

Pour the chicken broth into a soup pot. Add in the vegetables and allow to cook until vegetables are soft. Allow soup to cool and puree in a blender. Strain back into the soup pot. Puree the corn and strain into the soup pot. Add in the cream, salt, pepper and Tabasco. Simmer until heated through. Add in crab and allow crab to warm. Spoon into bowls.

If you like the taste of potatoes, add in one can of potato soup and remove one can of the chicken broth.

Crab Bisque can also be made with a tomato based broth. I have a very simple crock-pot recipe for crab bisque.

Place one pound of imitation crab meat, one can of condensed tomato soup and one can of cream of asparagus soup in your crock-pot. Cook on high three hours. Uncover and add 1 cup of half and half. Re-cover and cook on high one more hour.

If you want vegetables in the soup, consider adding in carrots, celery and onions. Strain before serving to remove these vegetables.

I love serving this soup with homemade garlic bread. I use a French bread loaf. I melt the butter with garlic and onion and then brush onto the bread and toast under the broiler.

Vegetarian Italian - Delicious Options For Meat Lovers

Everyone agrees that eating less meat is healthier -- for you, for your pocketbook, for the planet. But I've tried to adopt vegetarianism and found it doesn't work for me. I never really feel good on a 100% vegetarian diet.

I believe that each body is different, and that some people simply need meat protein. So how do you balance that need with your desire for a healthier lifestyle?

Meat Loaf

One excellent answer is centuries old -- vegetarian Italian cuisine! Since Roman times, Italian food has mainly focused on eggs, cheese, bread, olives and fresh seasonal vegetables. The Romans reserved meat and fish for special occasions.

As time went on, however, meat-eating became a privilege of the wealthy. Country folk continued to grow their own food, and usually raised cattle as a source of milk and cheese, not meat.

In the 1980s, Italy gave birth to the international Slow Food movement, which strives to preserve traditional and regional cuisine, and promotes farming methods in line with the local ecosystem.

These things, and more, have contributed to a culinary tradition rich in meatless options.

So why not go beyond pizza and pasta, and try one unusual vegetarian Italian dish this week? Here are a few suggestions to get you started:

Polenta

A strange but yummy cornmeal porridge that's easy to make. A cousin to American grits, polenta is a staple in northern Italy and makes a satisfying winter meal. You can find it in most grocery stores, with directions on the package.

A soft mound of polenta can be the base for cooked greens, sauteed portabello mushrooms or any vegetable. It can also be baked in a loaf pan, then thinly sliced. Sliced polenta can replace bread or lasagna as a base for almost any filling, including pesto, mozzarella, tomato sauce and roasted peppers.

Risotto

A delicious creamy rice dish that can be enhanced with almost any vegetable. It must be made from Arborio rice, which can be found in most grocery stores. Risotto has a reputation for being tricky, but the new oven-baked and crockpot methods are almost effortless. Favorite vegetarian additions include asparagus, mushrooms and artichoke hearts (frozen work fine). Butter and freshly-grated parmesan cheese add flavor and texture.

Toward a More Creative Cuisine

My purpose is not to convert you to vegetarianism, but to inspire you to eat more creatively. I do recommend eating bread, butter and cheese in moderation, and as close to homemade as you can find. Avoid low-fat versions. Try fresh mozzarella, the type that comes in water. Frequent artisan bakeries and farmers' markets. Eat vegetables in season, not those flown in from the opposite hemisphere.

When you concentrate on fresh, whole, local ingredients, you'll discover that your cravings for fat and sugar decline. Centuries of eating this way can't be wrong!

If you are someone who likes Beef Jerky and other deli meats you are already paying too much for them at the store. The fact is that you can make Jerky and other tasty meats at home for much less cost.

Believe it or not it does not take a lot of work to produce your own deli meats at home if you have the right equipment. Many people use their own ovens to produce most of it. You also will not have to make lunchmeats everyday if you make enough once in awhile.

The types of meats you can make at home include different types of loafs like pickle loaf, olive loaf, bologna, different types of sausages, kielbasa, salami, summer sausage, pepperoni, different types of Jerky, snack sticks, just to name a few.

The equipment you will need to make your own meat is minimal. You will need a grinder to grind large amounts of meat and you will need the casings if you are making anything that is tubular like sausage. You will also need a kitchen oven or a smoker and a way to get the meat into the casings. A good idea is to buy a grinder because it can be used for many things and it has attachments that will help you stuff the casings.

Making meats at home is a lot of fun and children love jerky for snacks. You can find hundreds of recipes on the Internet for all types of homemade meats as well.

If you have looked at deli meats in the grocery store you know that the average Bologna can cost you about $5 for just a few slices. Beef Jerky can start out at $4 or $5 for a few ounces and get higher depending on the flavors that are added.

Many people already make homemade breads and they do canning of vegetables and fruits so making meats at home just adds to your savings. When you make meat at home you know what ingredients you are getting and you won't have as many fillers as with other meat products.

One of the best reasons to make meats at home is to save you money at the grocery store. Homemade meats are more flavorful; they are prepared with love and they last a long time. You can take advantage of sales in the grocery store and stock up on the meats you like. You can then turn them into deli meats that your entire family will love.
