the drips on the sides because

it tastes Delish too.

Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill

for at least 4 hours or overnight.

of yummy chocolate goodness. :)

Whip up some homemade Whip Cream and pop

it in the refrigerator till you are ready to serve

Dollop some of that homemade Whipped Cream

on top of each cute little cup of the

Chocolate Pots de Creme.

This recipe calls for 4 lbs of Beef Short Ribs.

Season the Beef with salt and pepper, then sear them on all

sides in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Chop up one large Onion.

In the same Crockpot saute the onions 

until they are translucent.

Pull the Crockpot off the stove at this time.

Place the Crockpot into it's cooking base

and add in the Beef Short Ribs.

Pour 2 cups of Beef Broth into the Crockpot.

Pour in 1 cup of Red Wine next.

You could substitute with more Beef Broth or Grape Juice

but "Wine" Would You Do That?

1 tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce.

Give the Crockpot a stir and toss in some Rosemary.

Put a lid on it and cook on low 6-8 hours

or high for 4-5 hours.

After a few hours I couldn't Forget About It because

it smelled so Fabulous. I lifted the lid and

threw some Thyme.

These three sure moved up much closer

to smell the Delicious Aroma!!!!

Just before serving I whipped up some

cheesy Polenta to serve with

our Beef Short Ribs.

I served our Beef Short Ribs

right form the Crockpot.
