Country Rib Sandwiches

Boneless country style pork ribs usually go on sale for a great price, especially during the summer months.  I adapted this recipe from my recent issue of  Taste of Home that utilizes the country style pork ribs.  It is easy to make thanks to the crock pot and it won’t make your house hot either.  You also get that great summer bbq flavor.  Serve with a side of  Shockingly Simple Coleslaw or Pineapple Coleslaw recipe on my site for a quick side dish.
