Bacon-wrapped Boneless Pig Poppers - Caveman II

Girls got home from Boise, and immediately turned around and went to another musical here in town. Left me all alone to drink and watch hunting shows! This was the best I could come up with.

Ranch dressing seasoned boneless pork ribs, wrapped in bacon and slow cooked for 8 hours on LOW. Finished under broiler for couple minutes to crisp bacon!! Oh my.

Disclaimer: No jalepenos were harmed in the making of this dish. Hahaha.

How low?

You guys with lots of pigs are missing out, if you don't try this!!

Boneless Pork Rib Poppers - Caveman II

10 minutes to prep, 10 minutes to finish. 8 hours to slow cook

3-4# boneless pork rib meat (can be more, but adjust ingredients). Can use short ribs also, by removing bones.
1# sliced bacon (for wrapping each piece). Large pieces of pork may take two slices of bacon.
1-2 packages of powdered Ranch dressing mix. Can sprinkle on each side on a tray, or toss in a bag or Tupperware container

Baking tray with wire rack (to drain, and for browning them in broiler - 2 minutes per side)

Trim all the fat and/or bones off the rib meat.
Season all of the pork rib meat with Ranch dressing mix ( can sprinkle, or use ZipLock or Tupperware)
Wrap each piece of powdered pork with one piece of bacon (two strips if the meat is large)
Crock pot on LOW for approx. 8 hours. Meat can be stacked on each other loosely.
Remove each piece from the pot, and place on wire rack in baking sheet.
Meat and bacon will be totally done, and very tender, but should be browned to crisp the bacon.
Two minutes on each side, turning once

Serve with more Ranch dressing or BBQ sauce for dipping.
Salad, Cole slaw, sweet potatoes, or veggies of choice to accompany

W0W!

Yes please!

in with a grin That bacon is beautiful

Wow that looks awesome !

Pigs in a blanket.

Awesome!

Do you add beer or broth to the crock pot to get the liquid?

Man look at that

No, as soon as it got up in temp, it rendered all the pork and bacon down and simmered in its own juices!!
