Slow Cooker Ribs

I received a new cookbook for Christmas from my boss! It is the "Best Loved Slow Cooker Recipes" by Crock-Pot. I was so excited because I absolutely love cooking in my slow cooker! The first recipe I made was ribs. They were good, but had some weird taste to them. I haven't quite figured out what it is, but I'd still probably make this again anyway. It could have been the beer I used, so maybe I need to stick to beef stock. We'll see though!

Ribs cookin' in the slow cooker!
