Outstanding! I loved cooking beans and ribs together, and they were SOOO good: ribs very tender; beans just perfect. These were sweet, but not too sweet..just right. I had lots of sauce left over, so will add another can of beans next time. Thanks, Rita, for sharing this easy, no-fail recipe. I'll be making these again and again.

Superb ribs! So delicious and this recipe rocks even without a crock pot, in an ordinary pot. I added 1 cup water to the sauce, so it wouldn't dry out during cooking. I slowly simmered the ribs for 1 hr, then removed the lid and reduced the sauce to a desired consistency for about 15 mins. The ribs where tender and so tasty, and the sauce was great over rice. Thank you Rita, for yet another keeper!

Rita, used double the amount of ribs, thinking I would have enough for another meal. Ha! Went into the refrigerator and everyone kept going in and getting more, even cold! This will definitely be a OMC.

DH was a bit skeptical about this because of the spicy ingredients, but he loved it. I accidentally bought boneless ribs (5 lb of solid meat!) - as a result some parts wound up a bit dry, but not all, by any means. Also, I set my Smart Pot for 8 hours on low, but the recipe sat on warm for at least another 4 hours! I will definitely make these again, but I recommend the bone-in ribs, and will read the package more carefully next time.

Great Ribs! The sauce was perfect! I made them for a dinner with some manly guests (construction workers) and they ate every last bit of food! They raved over the ribs and said they were the best they had....thanks for making me look so good!

Thank you! I knew we were in for a treat when I finished cooking down the sauce. The BBQ sauce is soooo good! I'll be making this again, especially in the summer for the grill! The ribs & beans turned out great. I left the onions in slices & they were just perfect--so yummy. Served it with some fresh cole slaw & it was a hit. Can't wait to taste this kicky, zippy sauce on burgers! lol

I personally didn't like them...(sorry!) but I sent them to work with my Dad and they all raved. I think I have an issue with "sweet & spicy" foods. It smelled DELICIOUS while in the crock pot. Maybe it just was not for me. I suggest you try it and see if the sweet/spicy thing is for your palate! Either way, your house will still smell DELICIOUS!
