Spicy Chipotle Short Ribs {Slow Cooker}

Slow cooker meals are a life-saver during the holidays.  I have so much going on with work, shopping and baking that I don’t have time to fuss with dinner most nights.  These Spicy Chipotle Short Ribs are a great weeknight meal.  Just dump everything in the crockpot, and dinner is ready and waiting when you get home.  The meat is kind of spicy.  You can adjust the spice by adding more or less chipotles.  I used one can for 3 pounds of beef.

I served the short ribs two ways.  The first night we had the short ribs over some cheddar orzo.  It was delicious!  The second night we had Spicy Chipotle Short Rib Sliders.  I can’t decide which way I liked best.  You can’t go wrong with either one.

  1. This looks delicious, except I'm not a fan of coke or pop in general. Does the flavor come out in the ribs? Is here something I can use in its place?
