BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

Ingredients:

1 1/2-2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 bottle prepared BBQ sauce
1/2 medium white onion, sliced

Directions:

* Combine all ingredients in a crock-pot and cook on LOW 5-6 hours.

* Serve on toasted bread.

Hint: I added sliced tomatoes and sliced Colby cheese to my sandwich. We used whole-grain bread, toasted in the oven at 450 degrees F for 4 minutes. The longer the chicken cooks, the thicker the sauce will become. Stir often, and enjoy!

BBQ'd Country Style Ribs

I got a text this morning that said, "You like to cook. I've got some ribs...any suggestions?"

Yes!

We tried this out a couple of weeks ago and it was a really good variation on the same ole same ole we usually have with country style ribs.



BBQ'd Country Style Ribs:

up to 4.5 or 5 lbs. boneless country-style pork ribs
1 1/2 cups bottled BBQ sauce
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 TBS yellow mustard
1 TBS packed brown sugar
1 TBS Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp dried Thyme

**using a blender, mix BBQ sauce - onion - (celery) - mustard - brown sugar - worchestershire sauce - garlic & thyme**

place ribs in crock-pot, cover with sauce from blender....cook on low 8-10 hours or high 5-6 hours

-> we had a communication error so the celery didn't make it to the blender, instead we put it in on top of the sauce
