A delightful twist on classic BBQ ribs, combining the sweetness of honey with the tang of mustard for a flavorful dish.
Place the ribs in the slow cooker.
Ensure the ribs are evenly spaced for even cooking.
Add the sliced onions on top of the ribs.
Slicing the onions thinly helps them cook down and blend into the sauce.
In a mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, honey, mustard, and cornstarch. Whisk until smooth.
Mixing the sauce thoroughly ensures even flavor distribution.
Pour the sauce mixture over the ribs and onions in the slow cooker.
Make sure the sauce covers the ribs for maximum flavor.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the ribs are tender.
Cooking on low heat ensures the ribs become tender and flavorful.
Remove the ribs from the slow cooker and set aside, keeping them warm.
Cover the ribs with foil to retain heat while preparing the sauce.
Skim any excess fat from the sauce in the slow cooker.
Removing excess fat makes the sauce lighter and more palatable.
Return the ribs to the sauce in the slow cooker and gently stir to coat evenly.
Coating the ribs in the sauce ensures every bite is flavorful.
Serve the ribs hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
