Cook pork riblets in the slow cooker for an easy dinner. Add vegetables on top, and you have a complete meal. It’s a one-pot meal for two cooked all day and ready for eating when you walk in the door.
Slow Cooker Pork Riblets recipe is literally a fall-off-the-bones kind of meat. The riblets were very tender.
I noticed bones I hadn’t been aware of before when cooking ribs. They are circular and flat.
But there’s no need to worry about bones with this meat that’s left in the slow cooker all day.
You know why? Because they are:
Juicy. Tasty. Mouth watering riblets.
Add any kind of vegetables you want with the pork dinner. Many times I cook veggies in the slow cooker inside foil placed on top of the meat.
Usually, I seal the foil to keep the steam inside. This time, however, I left the foil open. Of course, the lid was closed and there wasn’t any need to worry about the steam escaping the crock.
I’ve also placed potatoes, onions, and carrots in with the meat. It’s all a matter of preference.
