These crock pot country-style pork ribs are made with meaty, boneless country-style ribs, condensed soup, and mushroom gravy mix. Sure to become a favorite in your house, as these ribs are so tender and flavorful. The sauce mixture is wonderful with the ribs and mashed potatoes, or serve them with rice or cauliflower rice.

Country-style ribs are similar to pork chops, and they are an excellent choice for slow cooking or braising. These types of ribs are fairly inexpensive compared to other cuts of pork, and they are juicy and tender when cooked low and slow, making them perfect to make in the slow cooker. Easily double the recipe to serve to a larger group of people.

While this recipe uses canned cream of mushroom soup, feel free to make a one yourself. We have a homemade condensed soup base recipe you can use if you'd like.

This popular country-style ribs with cream of mushroom soup recipe produces saucy, delicious ribs that will make a fabulous meal with mashed potatoes and corn or steamed veggies.

Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 pounds country-style ribs, boneless

  • Kosher salt, to taste

  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 1 (10.75-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

  • 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, thickly sliced

  • 1 envelope mushroom gravy mix

  • 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika

  • 1 heaping tablespoon all-purpose flour, optional

Steps to Make It

  1. Gather the ingredients. 

  2. Place the boneless ribs in the slow cooker. 

  3. In a bowl combine the condensed soup with the sliced mushrooms, gravy mix, and paprika. 

  4. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for about 3 to 4 hours.

  5. Remove the country-style ribs to a warm platter and keep warm.

  6. To thicken the gravy, make a smooth paste with 1 heaping tablespoon of flour and 2 tablespoons of cold water. Add the flour and water mixture to the broth and stir to blend. Turn to high and cook for an additional 15 minutes. 

  7. Serve the country-style ribs and gravy with mashed potatoes and corn or your family's favorite steamed or fresh vegetables.

Tip

The flour is for a thicker gravy which may not be necessary if you cooked the ribs on high.

Recipe Variation

  • You can use a boneless pork roast instead of the country-style pork ribs, if you prefer.
  • If you'd like a bit more of a zip to the sauce, add a dash or two of Worcestershire sauce, to your taste.

How to Store

Leftover ribs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to four days.
