Slow Cooker Mustard Sauced Country Ribs and Red Potatoes

1 1/2 lbs boneless country style pork ribs
6 medium red potatoes, quartered
1/2 medium yellow onion, cut into chunky slices
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup French’s spicy brown mustard
1 tsp dried Thyme
1 garlic clove, minced
1/8 tsp pepper

Place potatoes and onions in the bottom of your slow cooker.  Top with the ribs.  Combine the broth, mustard, thyme, garlic and pepper in small bowl and pour over the top of the ribs.  Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 4 hours.  Use liquid in slow cooker to make a gravy for the potatoes, if desired.

Review:
Unfortunately, this meal just didn’t really turn out the way I had hoped.  It was lacking in flavor.  I think that if I were to do this again I would definitely dredge the meat in a little flour and sear it in a tablespoon of canola oil before adding it to the slow cooker.  Refer to my post about browning for more info on that little subject.  I give this a sad 2 stars, sorry family for the gross meal…I’ll make something better tonight, I promise.
