Crock Pot Spare Ribs

Submitted by Sarrah LeeAnn Henry

4 or 5 spare ribs
4 potatoes
4 to 6 carrots
1 can tomato sauce (12 or 16 oz.)

Turn slow cooker or crockpot to high. In fry pan, brown spareribs. Cut off excess fat. Peel potatoes and carrots. Cut potatoes into quarters and add to crockpot. Cut carrots into 3 inch chunks and add to crockpot. Place spareribs on top. Pour tomato sauce directly over, allowing it to drip through the vegetables. Make sure the cover of crockpot is evenly sealed.
Cook on high about 30 minutes; then slow cook on low 6 to 8 hours, or until carrots have cooked through. Serve hot and add butter and salt and pepper to taste.
