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!

Believe it or not, this is exactly the way my Mother made her county style ribs…….browned completely and very SLOW cooked in the oven…..Of Course, baked potatoes were also part of the menu and she made a batch large enough to feed 5 for 2 dinners. ABSOLUTELY YUMMMMMMMMMMY !!! Just a Note, if Mom were still with us she would be l20 years old this year so this recipe is definitely Tried and True….

This was delicious and incredibly easy. I added an apple cut up into 1” chunks, 1 tsp Caraway seeds (to help with gas), 1 tsp dried juniper berries. The only change I would make to this recipe (for 5 stars) would be to triple the amount of sauerkraut. My husband and I were scraping the pot around the meat trying to get more sauerkraut.
