Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

- Cover the skillet and transfer to the oven.
- After about 2 hours reduce the heat to 250 degrees and allow to continue to slow cook for another 2.5 hours.
- Whisk remaining flour into remaining beef broth. (If you want more gravy, use more broth. If you want a slightly thicker gravy, add a little extra flour.) Pour the mixture into the skillet and raise the temperature of the oven back to 300 for the remaining 30 minutes of cooking time.
- Serve and enjoy with some hot bread and butter and a salad and you're good to go!

COUNTRY STYLE RIBS AND POTATO WEDGES
Easy weeknight barbecue, with a deliciously different mustard based barbecue sauce that comes together quicker than you might think. This makes a sweet sauce. If you like yours more tangy, you can reduce the sugar and increase the vinegar. I like it on the potatoes, too. Round out the meal with some green veggies or a crisp salad, and shake up your usual routine.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Country-style pork ribs or pork shoulder are the best cuts to use for this recipe. They are both flavorful and have a good amount of fat, which will help keep the meat moist during cooking.
- Brown the pork before cooking: Browning the pork in a skillet over medium-high heat before adding it to the slow cooker will help to seal in the juices and add flavor.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Potatoes, carrots, onions, and celery are all classic vegetables that go well with pork. However, you can also add other vegetables that you like, such as green beans, peas, or corn.
- Add some spices: A simple combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder will add a lot of flavor to the dish. You can also add other spices that you like, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder.
- Cook on low for 8-10 hours: This will allow the pork and vegetables to cook slowly and become tender.

Country pork and potatoes is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a hit with the family. With just a few simple ingredients and a slow cooker, you can create a delicious and hearty meal that everyone will love.
