5-6 sprigs of thyme
salt & pepper to taste
Step 2: Searing

Take your time to develop caramelization on both sides of the ribs, as this will add lots of flavor.

Place all ribs into crockpot.
Add vegetables & herbs on top.
Season with salt & pepper
Add hot sauce to your liking.
Step 4:
pour in 1 cup your fave BBQ Sauce+
1/2 cup water
Step 5: Deglazing
Pour 1 cup red wine into the hot skillet.
Scrape the bottom of the pan, lifting any savory bits off the bottom.
Pour over the ribs.
Step 6: Finishing
Cover and set your timer for when you want it ready~ It's that simple
Turn if you can every hr. to distribute the ingredients.
