CROCKPOT BEEF SHORT RIBS


Melt In Your Mouth Crockpot Beef Short Ribs You Can't Resist!

Indulge in the comforting warmth of Crockpot Beef Short Ribs,
a dish that turns any meal into a heartfelt meal. These tender
succulent ribs simmer in rich flavors that will have your
family and friends asking for SECONDS.

Fix It and Forget It with your Crockpot on those busy
weekdays or cozy weekends.

Beef Shorts Ribs are so tasty over Polenta, Mashed Potatoes or Pasta!
Savor every bite without the fuss. :)


Time to get the Crockpot loaded up.


Pour some olive oil into the Crockpot and place
it on the stove top.


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.

You will need to cook the Beef Short Ribs in batches.


Use colorful Tongs to turn the Beef to be sure
you brown  them on all the sides.


Next batch of Beef Short Ribs
into the pot to brown up.


Perfectly seared Beef Short Ribs.


Chop up one large Onion.


In the same Crockpot saute the onions 
until they are translucent.


Add in some Garlic plus some Salt and Pepper.

It helps to have a Martini Olive Spatula to stir with :)


Perfectly Translucent Onions

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?


Add into the Crockpot...

2 tbsp of Soy Sauce
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.

Now you can Forget About It. :)


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.


Dinner Is Served.

Crockpot Beef Short Ribs are a perfect DELICIOUS meal
for any day of the week. Cooking them in a slow 
cooker makes them tender and full of flavor!


Please have a bite. :)

Enjoy!

P.S.


You know the Beef is tender when the bones just fall right off :)

Tasty Tasty Tasty!

BREAKFAST PANCAKE POPPERS

 


Breakfast Pancake Poppers are fluffy bite-size Pancakes
baked in a muffin tin. All you have to do is
 Grab, Dip and Pop one in your mouth.

Good Morning Delicious!

Unlike traditional Pancakes, you don't need to stand
over the stove flipping each one. :)

Instead the batter bakes in muffin tins, giving you bite-size
Pancakes in just minutes.


Let's get the morning started with simple
ingredients I bet you have in your kitchen now.


Start with the dry ingredients...

1 cup of Flour
1 tbsp of Sugar
1 tsp of Baking Powder
1/4 tsp of Salt


Tumble all the dry ingredients into
a large bowl and Whisk Whisk Whisk.


For the wet ingredients....

3/4 cup of Milk
1 Egg
2 tbsp of melted Butter
1 tsp of Vanilla Extract


Tumble all the wet ingredients into a small
bowl and Whisk Whisk Whisk.


Now these two bowls are going to come together.


Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.


Mix the batter but don't over mix, or they'll turn dense.


Time to get this batter into the muffin tins.


Butter up your muffin tins.

Note...I used regular size muffin tins and it made 8 Pancakes.
You could also use mini Muffin Tins and have more
PANCAKE POPPERS! :)


Scoop the batter into the muffin pan, filling 
each cup about 2/3 full.

Bake in a 375 degree oven about 12-15 minutes,
until golden and puffed.


I inserted a toothpick and it came out clean
and yes they are golden brown too. :)


Brush the hot Pancake Poppers with some butter
because we love BUTTER. :)

More Butter More Better!


These Breakfast Pancakes are Fun, Fluffy and Full of

Morning Joy!


I love serving these Poppers with Dippers for Dipping like
Maple Syrup, Jams and Butter.

For brunch, pile them high on a platter and dust with
powdered sugar and it will feel like a...

PANCAKE POPPER PARTY. :)


My Breakfast Popper was dipped in yes, three dips...
Butter, Maple Syrup and Raspberry Jam
and it was DELICIOUS!


Can you double dip?

Yes you can!


Think this Breakfast Pancake Popper would also taste
great with a Breakfast Mimosa. :)

Enjoy!
