Ingredients
- 2 to 3 pounds baby back ribs
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Ribs: Start by removing the silver skin from the back of the ribs. This will help the ribs become more tender during cooking.
- Season the Ribs: In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the ribs for maximum flavor.
- Make the Sauce: In another bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine.
- Layer in the Crockpot: Place the seasoned ribs in the crockpot, standing them upright if possible. Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the ribs, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Cook the Ribs: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for about 6 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat pulls away from the bone easily.
- Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the ribs from the crockpot. Brush with additional barbecue sauce if desired. Cut into individual portions and serve with your favorite sides!
These crockpot ribs are not only delicious but also incredibly easy to make. Serve them with coleslaw, cornbread, or your favorite sides for a complete meal that your family will rave about. Enjoy!
