1 1/2 lb lean stew meat, cut in 1 inch chunks
1 1/4 cups water

Crock Pot Ribs
Ingredients:
2 lbs of ribs
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon pepper
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
3/4 cup Soda of choice
1 Tablespoons honey
*Extra BBQ sauce, (optional)
Directions:
Add all the ingredients to the freezer bag.
Cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low 8-9 hours.
After you have prepared them, you may want to drizzle about a 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce about 15 minutes before serving. Although the family thought they were perfect without the extra sauce. Don't use the juice that was inside the crock pot because it has a lot of grease. There is plenty of flavor on the ribs.
