Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Country Style Ribs are easy to make and are sweet and tender.

Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Country Style Ribs

I found this recipe inside of a vintage Pillsbury cookbook. It was originally a grilling recipe, then an oven recipe and I had to try it in the slow cooker. It worked so well! It’s a great way to serve pork that isn’t a barbecue sauce recipe, it has a sweet and tangy sauce. We served this with mashed potatoes and loved it!

These ribs are worth making! I will be making these again soon, they are good enough to serve to company. Have a great week.

Author: Sarah Olson

Equipment Needed:

  • Slow Cooker Size: 5-quart or larger

Ingredients:

  • 4 lbs. country style pork ribs (you can use less or more, will work fine)
  • 10.5 oz. Campbell’s tomato soup (do not add water)
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
US Customary – Metric

Instructions:

  • Add the soup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce to the slow cooker. Stir until combined.
  • Add the ribs to the sauce and turn them in them so they are coated with the sauce.
  • Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours.
  • When the cooking time is done, degrease the sauce. I do this by laying paper towels over the sauce and lift up. The grease will stick to the paper towels.
  • Serve and enjoy!

      The sweet and sour country style ribs was sooooo good, very tender and sweet. I will make this one again! Thank you for the recipe, also looking forward to using my slow cooker more often. It is so wonderful to have dinner going while you are doing other things

        When I buy country style a few still have bones, but not all of them. So, yes. Bones are fine.

      Am making this now. Sauce doesn’t seem to stick to ribs. How can I thicken this up?

        Very tasty, but the meat was quite dry instead of moist. What can I do next time?

          You could use pork shoulder; country ribs can be dry and probably do not have the collagen to keep the meat silky for long term cooking(braised
