I have been making this delicious fall-off-the-bone sweet and savory barbecue beef short ribs recipe for years. However, it had been a long time since I had taken out the crock pot. My husband recently requested them on a particularly cold day when he knew he wanted to come home and make a fire in the fireplace and open a good bottle of red wine. So I made sure to stop at the store and buy short ribs. I had most of the other ingredients on hand already. I’m sure you do too.
