Melt in Your Mouth Short Ribs

3 lbs beef short ribs, cut into serving size pieces
1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crushed
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 can Campbells Condensed French Onion Soup
1 bottle (12 oz) dark ale or beer

Brown the ribs in a little oil. Transfer to a 5 quart (or larger) crock pot or Dutch oven. Add the brown sugar, garlic, thyme and flour and toss to coat. (I mix these up separately and THEN add to the ribs and toss)

Stir soup and ale together in a small bowl. Pour over ribs.

Cover and cook on LOW for 8-9 hours. Or on HIGH 4-5 hours.

You can serve with mashed potatoes covered with your gravy.
