We had such a crazy and fun summer this year with our three active little boys! Lots of play dates, water park fun, digging in the dirt, and spontaneous trips to get ice cream and milkshakes. I tried to keep the kids to a loose schedule during the day as much as possible, but we all know how that goes in the summertime. Each day is a new adventure and these boys are ready!
I'm, however, ready for Labor Day to be here finally! This past week we enjoyed some unseasonably cooler weather in the mid-70's. While taking a drive around our area with the windows down, it really made me ready for Labor Day because around here that signals the beginning of the fall season. Roadside stands become filled with fall colored mums, pumpkins, and many varieties of apples. And of course, Labor Day signals the beginning of football!
We like to get together on the weekends for the boys to watch the big game. Really, it's my husband, brother, brother-in-law, and my dad watching the game. But we three little boys at home, and my adorable nephew, I'm positive in a few short years they will all be enjoying watching football, too. Needless to say, our family uses any good excuse to get together and enjoy some great food. That's where these incredible Slow Cooker Beef Ribs come in handy!
Just place them in a slow cooker, make the amazing BBQ sauce with ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and coffee, and let it cook to perfection! You will never use another recipe again after tasting these ribs, I'm sure of it!
