Recipe FAQ’s

Should you sear country ribs before cooking?

No. Cooking them low and slow will break down the connective tissue so they will fall off the bone easily when done.

Hi Ron, some common subsitutes for Cream of Mushroom soup are: Cream of Chicken Cream of Celery Cream of Broccoli Cream of Potato Heavy Cream Full Fat Sour Cream

The Best Substitutes for Flavor are: Cream Cheese Heavy Cream + Broth + Mushrooms Quick Cream of Mushroom Soup Milk + Broth Sour Cream + Broth + Mushrooms

The flavor will not be exactly the same if you swap to any of these. Which ever you choose, try to have a mixture equal to 21 ounces (about 2 2/3 cups).
