SWEET & SAUCY COUNTRY STYLE PORK RIBS FREEZER MEAL IDEA!!

Today we continue with another excellent option for freezer banking! This time we are making a sweet and saucy country pork rib freezer meal. These ribs aren't really ribs, per se. They are boneless pork loin or shoulder that has been cut into generous flanks. These are great for making in the slow cooker or the pressure cooker and can easily be done in multiples if you like to make batches at a time. This uses your favorite barbecue sauce as well as some additional ingredients to make a delicious main course that you can pair with anything! I know this will quickly become a family favorite for it's sweet savory appeal and you will love the budget friendly factor for putting a delicious protein on the table!

I have started with 3 pounds of boneless country style pork ribs. One small, 16 ounce bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce. I usually end up pouring this into a measuring cup then putting a bit of water in the bottle and shaking out the rest. You paid for it, you should use it! Get every bit of goodness out of there! I ended up with approximately 2.5 cups of sauce. I also added some sliced sweet onion a bit of minced garlic and a bit of liquid smoke. This is optional if you are not a fan but I have to tell you this really takes the flavor over the top. I also added a sprinkling of brown sugar to the mix.

Note that if you are on a sugar restricted diet than you should seek out your favorite sugar free barbecue sauce and use a brown sugar substitute in your version. This will taste just as fabulous I promise!

Everything goes in the bag. Seal it up then give it a good little massage to get all the goodness mixed together. I like to pop this into a bread pan and freeze. This will help the meal freeze in a shape that is more conducive to your slow cooker or your pressure cooker. Instead of freezing flat, I prefer to do it this way. You should do what works best for you and the space you have available.

When you wish to cook this you can pop this into your slow cooker frozen and set it on low for 6 to 8 hours until bubbly and tender. If you thaw this out for 24 hours before cooking you can set this on low for 4 to 6 hours instead.

Cooking in your pressure cooker? From frozen you can do 1 hour on medium pressure or from thawed you can do 30 minutes on medium pressure. Ours were never frozen and we cooked them for 40 minutes on medium pressure and they were perfectly delicious! Of course these times may vary depending on your make and model of pressure cooker as well as the amount you are intending to prepare so keep this in mind and always consult the manual for more guidelines.

In the end you can serve this on it's own like I did with a baked potato and a vegetable or you can shred this and serve it with cole slaw on buns for some fab bbq pork sammies. Everyone loves those!

I hope this gives you another freezer meal idea that will make your family happy. I hope you give this a try some time soon and I hope you love it!

Happy eating!
