Best Ribs EVER!! While You Sleep.

This is for all you people out there who have no time for anything, especially students on limited budgets and no cooking skills whatsoever. All you need is a crockpot (slow cooker) , a couple of pounds of pork ribs and a large bottle of your favorite dressing. Now the dressing should have either a tomato base, or an oil & vinegar base. Greek or Italian is good, but I use "Kraft" Catalina dressing - Russian works well, too, and adds a bit more sweetness to it. Now just chop up a bit of garlic and add some salt & pepper. Cut the ribs into portions that are easy to hande and place them in the crockpot. Toss in the garlic, add the salt & pepper & pour in the dressing. Cook on high for a couple of hours and then turn it down to low for the next 3-4 hours. What you end up with will be the best, melt-in-your-mouth, falling-off-the-bones ribs you have ever tasted! Serve with pasta, rice or baked tatoes. Yummerz!
