Happy with the way it came out! My church friends were all smiles and admiration.

There’s something incredibly comforting about slow-cooked barbecue, especially when it involves beef short ribs. This dish is a nod to those lazy summer afternoons spent with family, where the grill was always going and the air was filled with the sweet, smoky aroma of barbecue. But let’s be honest, not all of us have the time to tend to a grill for hours. That’s where the slow cooker comes in. It’s perfect for busy folks like us who want to enjoy a delicious, home-cooked meal without spending all day in the kitchen. These slow cooker BBQ beef short ribs are tender, flavorful, and oh-so-easy to make. They’re perfect for a weeknight dinner or a weekend gathering with friends.

These BBQ beef short ribs pair wonderfully with classic sides like creamy coleslaw, buttery cornbread, or a fresh green salad. For a heartier meal, serve them alongside mashed potatoes or mac and cheese. The rich, tangy flavors of the ribs are complemented by the sweetness of baked beans or the crunch of a crisp cucumber salad. Don’t forget to have some extra barbecue sauce on the side for dipping!
