Title: BRAISED SHORT RIBS
Category: meat

As you will note from the ingredient list this recipe is not "heart smart" it is high in fat, calories, and other things that are not supposed to be good for you. It is however extremely tasty and one of my favorites. This recipe is chris's, again probobly with some input from miller. Chris really liked cooking with bacon fat and so do I.
