Don't worry that the ribs will be too spicy. The long, slow cooking process mellows the spices so much that these ribs just taste sweet, not spicy at all.
You can even cook these short ribs from a frozen state without thawing. Just turn the slow cooker onto high for an hour, then turn it down to low for the rest of the cooking time. The short ribs will turn out perfectly
Serve these ribs with roasted potatoes or garlic mashed potatoes and braised asparagus.
