Guinness beef ribs on a bed of mashed potatoes on a white plate

Slow Cooker Guinness Beef Ribs

Chef Dennis Littley
I love my slow cooker and I love beef ribs.  So when I decided to cook up a bunch of these "fall off the bone ribs" with Guinness my favorite Irish beer I knew I'd have a winner!   And don't worry if you can't have alcohol, just replace the beer with Root Beer or Dr. Pepper.
