HOW TO COOK SHORT RIBS IN A CROCKPOT
I love to make beef short ribs without the bones. It tastes better to not have to eat around bones. Plus, this recipe only requires 5 ingredients!
Like any meat, it is important to season each piece well to have amazing flavor. I like to season both sides of the short ribs with salt and pepper to keep it nice and simple. It is good to pat the salt and pepper into the short ribs so it really takes in the flavor, then place each piece into the crockpot.

To cook these delicious short ribs, we are going to add minced garlic, thyme, and chopped onion.
Spread everything over evenly then add a layer of fire roasted diced tomatoes.
Once that is complete, you have two cooking options. You can cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours. Whichever option you choose, you have plenty of time to do chores or nothing at all.
