Barbecue Pork Ribs

2 lbs. country style boneless spare ribs (cut into serving size pieces)
salt and pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups honey BBQ sauce
1 Tbsp. minced (dried) onion
1/2 tsp. minced garlic (fresh)
1/2 tsp. hot sauce (I used Mexican Tapatio)
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper

Salt and pepper rib pieces. Place in hot pan with a small amount of oil. Sear both sides of meat until browned (not too long - you don't want to cook the meat through). Mix up remainder of sauce ingredients and place in crock pot with seared rib pieces. Cook on low for 4-5 hours or until they are tender and easily fall apart.

From frozen: No need to defrost. Just place in crock pot and cook on low for 5-6 hours. Serve with baked or boiled potatoes.
