Slow Cooker BBQ Ribs
These Slow Cooker BBQ Ribs are done to perfection; they are tender, juicy, sticky ribs that are so full of flavor you will not want to make them any other way!
Ingredients
- 2 Racks of pork ribs about 3 lbs
Rub
- 3 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp granulated garlic
- 1 Tbsp Kosher salt
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
BBQ Sauce
- 2 cups your favorite jarred BBQ sauce
- ¼ cup onion finely chopped
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tbsp cider vinegar
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine all the rub ingredients and stir until well mixed. Set aside.
- In a large measuring cup, combine all the ingredients for the BBQ sauce and whisk to combine.
- Remove the silver skin from the back side of each of the racks of ribs. Using a paper towel to grip and pull the sliver skin works great.
- Cut the racks of ribs in half and sprinkle the rub over both sides of the ribs.
- Place one-half rack of ribs in the bottom of your slow cooker and pour about ¼ cup of the sauce over the ribs. Use a spoon or a spatula to spread the sauce over the ribs.
- Take the next half rack of ribs and lay it on top of the first rack to form an “X” if your slow cooker shape allows that. Pour about ¼ cup of the sauce over that rack of ribs. Repeat this process with the other racks of ribs.
- Pour the remaining BBQ sauce over all the ribs.
- Cook on low for 6 – 7 hours or until the ribs are tender but not falling off the bone.
- Preheat your broiler.
- Line a baking sheet or broiler pan with foil and place the ribs on the prepared pan meat side up.
- Generously brush the ribs with the sauce from the slow cooker. You can skim off the fat from the top of the sauce if there is a lot.
- Broil the ribs for 2 – 4 minutes or until just slightly charred.
- Serve with a bowl of the remaining sauce for dipping if you like.
