love it. Love your show and you.. My hubby thinks I'm nuts. Want to drive down from pittsburgh for your book signing events. Can you prepay for a ticket so youre guaranteed?? Its a long drive to not get in..Just thought I'd ask.

My only comment is the very long cooking time 8 hours for the meat and then an additional 4-6 hours for the veggies. That would mean for this recipe as written, to be ready at dinner time for my family I would have to get up at 3AM to start this. Not likely. So I did it in 9 hours by putting in the beef ribs first, cooking on high for 4 hours and then added the veggies and cooked on low for 5 hours. I also want to add that I begin with a superior products of locally raised grass fed beef, not what you can typically buy in a supermarket and homegrown veggies. I also served it with fresh basil and thyme sprinkled on right before serving. Delicious.

love short ribs
By virginia franklin on April 26, 2012
I have not tried this recipe but I wanted to give the possible answer to the questions below as to why Paula may be recommending the use of chicken stock instead of beef stock. Most cooks/chefs use chicken stock instead of beef stock because beef stock gives beef dishes a harsh "irony" kind of flavor, whereas the chicken stock smoothes out the flavoring of a beef dish and enhances that "beefy" flavor (PLUS chicken stock just tastes better with beef dishes). :0)

Horrible. Too much fat and bland. I would drain the fat after browning and add a tomato or vinegar ingredient to cut the fattiness in the dish.

What size crock pot would you need for this slow cooker beef short ribs?
By Karen on October 03, 2011
I love the crock pot this recipe was great i have a recipe (okay it's actually my husband's)Brown your pork chops in a skillets place in crock pot with one med onion sliced, and about 1 quart of sauerkraut cook about 4 to 5 hours on low very delicious.

great tasty meal love it...
By Emma on September 22, 2011
Delicious!! The ribs were falling right off the bone...it was as tender as potroast! I was confused as to why it called for chicken broth instead of beef broth, but I followed the recipe, and it was delicious! I left it to cook all day, so I put the short ribs and veggies all in the crockpot at the same time, and left out the potatoes. When I came home I made some mashed potatoes to go along with it. Yummy! I will make this again!

I have tried your volcano cake and apple strudel. The volcano cake was a hit at work. I save the apple strudel for very special friends and relatives. I watch your show all the time. I just love you.
