What to do with rib trimmings?

I've got the uncooked trimmings from 3 racks of SLR's and I'd like to do something that has nothing to do with BBQ. So, no beans or rib tips or anything that has to do with dry rub, I have put the family into temporary (and I stress temporary) BBQ overload. I was thinking about making pasta sauce but wanted to see if anyone had some good ideas. I've got about a pound of meat complete with a couple of bones. Thanks.
 
Cook them in a crock pot with some garlic/onion powder, pepper and cumin. Pull and shred the meat from the bones. Use a little oil in a cast iron skillet and some corn tortillas to make pork tacos.

Any liquid in the crock pot? I don't do a lot of crock pot cooking but this sounds like a good idea. Thanks.

liquid doesnt evaporate in the crockpot... actually you get more. so i never add too much liquid. i usually only do 1/2 cup to a cup.

and the pork tacos is a great idea.

you can use stock if you like... any kind really. or simply use water. if you are making something and adding canned green salsa i would still add a bit of water to it as well. a bit being less than half a cup and no more than that.

if you are adding sauce tomato/bbq i would also add water, because the tomato based sauces can scorch in a crockpot if they are not watched.
 
I only add enough liquid to keep meat from sticking to the pot and burning. half cup or less of water, stock, etc.
 
Well i save mine unsmoked in the freezer untill i have a lot. Then i smoke em all with a mild smoke(apple) only salt/pepper on it. Make em fall of the bone tender. Shredd and add to my bolognese boil. Gives a nice touch and eliminates the bacon i normal use for this. Works like a champ!
