Beef Short Ribs are one of my favorite cuts of meat for so many reasons. They’re packed with flavor, easy to prepare, and cook low and slow all day, which means less work for you! Let your slow cooker do most of the work with this Slow Cooker Beef Short Ribs recipe.
This dish is perfect for the busy nights during the cooler months! Heinen’s tender, fall-off-the-bone short ribs are paired with carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms for a hearty and comforting dinner. Prep everything in the morning, let it cook all day, and come home to a ready-to-serve meal!
Pro Tip: Don’t pour the delicious broth at the bottom of your slow cooker down the drain! Serve it on top of the short ribs and save any extra for reheating leftovers.
