The Secret to Crockpot Ribs (Slow Cooker)

Step 1

Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Just slide your fingers around the side to loosen it up and rip it right off.

Step 2

In a small bowl, stir together the ingredients for the dry rub. Rub this mixture generously over the outside of the ribs to coat.

Step 3

Put your ribs in the crockpot. Drizzle on 1 1/2 cups of barbecue sauce, reserving 1/2 cup for later.

Step 4

Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. The more racks in the pot, the longer you'll need to cook.

Step 5

Gently remove the racks and lay them out on a foil lined baking sheet. Add the reserved barbecue sauce on top.

Step 6

Broil under a broiler for 3-5 minutes until the barbecue sauce starts to bubble and caramelize. Alternately you could wrap them in foil and throw them on a heated grill for the same effect.
