In reply to Andrea. Absolutely! I recommend searing the ribs first and then transferring everything to the slow cooker. I hope you enjoy!

In reply to Julie.

This recipe can also be made in a slow cooker for 8-9 hours on low.

In reply to Dawn. I love this so much! So are you flooded with memories every time you make like me? She made this all the time while pregnant with my brother and I am transported back to being a young teen every time.

Thank you!! Love this recipe. A huge part of my mom’s dinner rotation growing up. She made hers on the stove though…hours of boiling the ribs but she used bone in and the meat just fell off. She also had boiled potatoes on the side that she would mash with a fork and add butter and seasonings…..so delicious!! She is now gone, but I still make this….going to try my pressure cooker next time…to cut down on the heat in the house….and the cooking all day!

In reply to Nanette. I am so happy to hear this. I love that you deglazed with chicken broth. Such a smart move. Thank you so much Nanette for taking the time to make the recipe and coming back to comment and rate. I appreciate it very much!

This recipe did a phenomenal job to country ribs. I browned the ribs in my Cuisinart 5quart casserole pan on the stove top and then deglazed the pan with some chicken broth. Then topped the ribs with the sauerkraut, covered and cooked in the oven for 3 hours. They came out buttery tender and succulent. I served this with green beans and baby taters.

In reply to Julie. Hi Julie! Yes, they absolutely can be made in a slow cooker. I do recommend searing first for the incredible flavor it adds. It will take about 7-8 hours on low. I hope you enjoy!

In reply to Barbara. I love this so much and recipes getting passed down through the generations! Your mom clearly knew exactly what she was doing. And yes to baked potatoes… always. Thank you for sharing this memory and taking the time to come back to rate and comment!
