When I do the recipe. I cook the meat one day early. Also I peel the veggies early too. The next day I put everything into my slow cooker. I feel that is saving me time.

Please forgive me, I'm sleep deprived. The question about cook time for the short ribs should be 12 hours not 16.

Do I understand correctly, the ribs should cook a total of 16 hours inthe slow cooker on low?

Chicken broth vs beef broth

Why chicken broth in the short ribs recipe  instead of beef broth?

It just provides a bigger flavor punch! Don't worry though—the ribs won't taste like chicken. And if you prefer beef broth, that's totally fine too!
