I think you will really enjoy this slow cooker version of short ribs. They are REALLY EASY to make too! The only way your family will know this is not take-out is by tasting, they are so much better!

Can you believe you can serve this up with 3 ingredients, a slow cooker and a little garnishing?

Short ribs

and these 2 magic ingredients!

Spray your slow cooker with cooking oil spray and add the short ribs. Season with S & P.

Mix sweet chili sauce and hoison sauce and pour over the ribs. Go to work or shopping or something and come back in 8-10 hours

Sprinkle with some chopped green onions and sesame seeds and take a bow. Once again you are a rock star!

It is easy to make your own~ Peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, minced onion and some BBQ sauce

Put all the ingredients into a bowl or measuring cup and whisk like crazy to incorporate the peanut butter
