Crock-Pot Honey Barbecue Ribs and Rice

Here is one of Dylan's favorite dishes.  All our kids really like this because it's sweet and savory.  By the end of cooking this in the crock-pot the meat is literally falling off the bone.



2 lb extra lean Baby back ribs
1 - 10 oz can Condensed beef consomme'
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp honey
3 tbsp Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Worcestershire
2 tbsp barbecue sauce (we prefer Stubbs)
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1 - 1/2 cups Minute Rice
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup chopped onion

Cut ribs into single servings.  Place in a crock-pot.  In a bowl combine consomme', water, syrup, honey, Soy, Worcestershire, barbecue and dry mustard.  Mix well.  Pour over ribs.  Cover and cook on low setting 8 - 10 hours.  Or on high setting 4 - 5 hours.  Remove ribs and keep warm, covered with foil in the oven.  Turn crock-pot on high.  Add rice carrots and onion to remaining liquid.  Cook until done about 30 - 45 minutes. Serve ribs on rice.
