Ranch Country Style Ribs
Ingredients
4-5 lb bone-in or boneless country style pork ribs
seasoning salt blend amount as desired, see note
14.5 oz chicken broth regular or low sodium
10.5 oz condensed cream of chicken soup
1 oz ranch seasoning packet
1 lb baby carrots
1 lb baby potatoes
3 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
Season ribs with seasoning salt blend or salt and pepper on both sides. Browning the ribs first is optional. If doing so, heat 1-2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear 2 minutes per side.
To a large Crockpot, whisk together broth, condensed cream of chicken soup and half of the ranch seasoning packet.
Submerge the ribs. Add the carrots and potatoes on top. Season the the top of the vegetables with more seasoning salt blend and the remaining ranch seasoning packet.
Cover and cook on low 8-9 hours.
Transfer the ribs and vegetables to a serving dish and skim the broth from any solid bits. Cover tightly with a lid or foil to keep warm.
For the gravy, carefully pour the broth into a medium saucepan.
In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons water and cornstarch. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan. Over medium-high heat, bring the gravy to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer 5 minutes, or until thickened.
