Most people will probably call this sacrilege, but BBQ ribs in the slow cooker. It’s so easy and so mouth-wateringly delicious. First things first, you’ll need some pork baby back ribs (about 3-4 pounds for a standard rack). Cut them so they will fit into your slow cooker and generously season them with salt and pepper. I hope you love does.
OTHER INGREDIENTS:
2 cups your favourite BBQ sauce1/4 cup packed brown sugar (or more to taste)4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar2 shakes Worcestershire sauce 3 teaspoons dried oreganoSalt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATIONS:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the ribs in the oven for 15 minutes, then turn them over and cook for another 15 minutes. This browns the ribs, and lets some of the fat drain off, so they don’t get sloppy/watery in the crockpot.
While the ribs are in the oven, mix your sauce. Feel free to mess with this recipe as much as you like,
Whisk all those ingredients together.
Place the ribs in the crock pot, then pour the sauce over. Use tongs to turn the ribs a few times and coat them in sauce.
Turn your slow cooker and low and cook for 8 hours or so, until the meat is falling off the bone. If you remember, stir them around once or twice throughout the day so they don’t stick to the sides, but if you forget, that is fine too.
For the last 1/2 hour or so of cooking, remove the lid to let the sauce thicken a bit. Eat!
