Sweet & Sour Country Style Ribs
These ribs are the kind of dish that makes you want to throw a barbecue party, even if it’s just for your couch. Let’s get to the fun part!

Ingredients:
- 3-4 pounds country style ribs
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- First, make your ribs nice and cozy! Season them with salt and pepper and place them in your slow cooker, Instant Pot, or oven pan.
- In a bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground ginger. Stir until it’s mixed well—like you’re making a secret potion!
- Pour that saucy goodness over the ribs. Ensure every rib gets a bath in that sweet and sour magic.
- If you’re using a slow cooker, cover it and let it cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. If you’re a pressure cooker warrior, set it for 30 minutes. For the oven, preheat to 325°F (163°C) and bake for about 2-2.5 hours, basting occasionally.
- Once cooked to perfection, let those ribs rest a bit before serving. This is crucial—like letting your pizza cool before diving in, it’s all about balance!
- Serve them up with some steamed rice or your favorite side dishes, and watch as they disappear faster than you can say “yum!”
