    Very good recipe, I loved the polenta/grits in the crock pot, they were awesome!

    This was a great dish. Easy prep. Loved the flavors in the sauce over the polenta!

    I made this two day ago and have been thinking about it since. Freakin fantastic. I didn't change a thing. I don't have a slow cooker, however, so I made Alton's savory polenta to go with it. My husband, who I tease often for having a baby sized stomach capacity, ate seconds and then some. We were so full that we both laid on the floor afterwards. It's just that good.

    This is one of THE BEST ways to cook the ribs ! I am a fond user of braising - a lot- and this is such a great recipe! I have always liked polenta, my grandmother used to make it a lot when I was growing up . I love love love watching her , as the ingredients are S I M P L E. Easy to get. Affordable. THOSE things combined can only make for a GREAT meal !! Melissa, you are my FAVE chef on Food Network !

    This recipe is fantastic! I made it as written except I could only find boneless country style pork shoulder ribs and I reduced the crushed red pepper. Easy and delicious, but does take some time. My husband is a reluctant meat eater but he ate 2 servings. The kids devoured it. I made with the accompanying slow cooker polenta/grits recipe. My first time making these in a slow cooker, and I am a forever convert. Best grits ever.

    Excellent flavor in the braising liquid - the vegetables tasted great. I added red bell pepper and mushrooms that I had in the fridge. I think the vinegar is the secret ingredient - it really added a nice kick. The only reason I can't give it five stars is that the ribs themselves just never got very tender and didn't absorb any flavor. I'm not sure if it's because I've gotten so use to brining or what, but they just were a bit bland. Overall though, I'll make it again and will see what I can do to kick up the ribs.

    This is absolutely delicious! My family raved and raved about it. I didn't serve it with polenta because my husband thinks he doesn't like it ha....although he never tried it. But I have news for him....he will if I can help it; and I know he'll enjoy it. Melissa I always have great luck with your recipes that I've made. Thanks so much for all the fantastic recipe ideas!!

    Regarding the polenta, Melissa was referring to coarse ground corn meal. You are right; grits are made from hominy.

    I'm making the ribs and onions tonight. All your reviews helped me feel more confident about making this recipe although so far none of Melissa's recipes have 'gone wrong' for me to date.

    A real hit. I enjoy ribs but was tiring of barbecue and this is a lovely alternative. The polenta was a fave too. Two thumbs up.
