Slow-Cooker BBQ Short Ribs

Was on Yahoo Messenger with a friend the other morning. Asked her if she had a recipe for short ribs, 1 minute later she gave me the link for these. Tried them and really quite enjoyed them. This is my first attempt at Beef Ribs, we are more of a Pork Rib family, but this was a really nice change. Love the slow-cooker, so much less work.

Slow-Cooker BBQ Short Ribs

4 lb. beef short ribs
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup flour
1 cup Kraft Original BarBQ Sauce
1/4 cup honey
1 tbsp. yellow mustard

Pleace ribs in slow cooker; top with onions. Mix remaining ingredients; pour over meat and onions. Cover with lid.
Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or on HIGH for 3-4 hours. Remove ribs from slow cooker; cover to keep warm. Skim excess fat from sauce; return ribs to sauce. Stir gently until evenly coated.
