Recipe View Slow-Cook to Perfection: Return ribs to the Dutch oven and turn to coat evenly in the luscious sauce. Cover the pan tightly and simmer over low heat until the meat is incredibly tender and effortlessly falls off the bones, approximately 3 hours. Check periodically and add a little water if the sauce becomes too thick.

For an even deeper flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of smoked paprika to the sauce.
If you prefer a sweeter sauce, increase the brown sugar to 1/3 cup.
Serve these ribs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread, for a complete and satisfying meal.

    This recipe is a keeper! Easy to follow and the results are restaurant-quality.

  • Nova Lockman

    Next time, I'll try adding a little bit of liquid smoke for an even smokier flavor.

  • Armando Smith

    Be patient during the braising process. The longer they cook, the more tender they become.

  • Ricardo Kilback

    I used smoked paprika instead of red pepper flakes for a smoky flavor. Will definitely make again!

  • Mariana Mcclure

    I added a splash of bourbon to the sauce for an extra layer of flavor. Delicious!
