Slow Cooker Melt-In-Your-Mouth Short Ribs

By gmbeckett

The name says it all...short ribs become exceedingly tender when slow-cooked in a flavorful combination of French onion soup, ale, garlic, brown sugar and seasonings.

Ingredients

• 3 pounds beef short ribs, cut into serving-sized pieces
• 2 tbsp packed brown sugar
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp dried thyme leaves, crushed
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 can (10 1/2 ounces) Campbells' Condensed French Onion Soup
• 1 bottle (12 fluid ounces) dark ale or beer
• Hot mashed potatoes or egg noodles

Preparation

Step 1

Place the beef into a 5-quart slow cooker. Add the brown sugar, garlic, thyme and flour and toss to coat. Pour the soup and ale over the beef mixture.

Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours or until the beef is fork-tender.  Spoon off any fat.

Serve with mashed potatoes or noodles.
