Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Country style pork ribs
- 1 large Onion
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Peel and slice the large onion into thin rings. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Rub the pork ribs with paprika, ground black pepper, and salt on all sides.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. This step helps lock in the flavor.
Place a layer of sliced onions on the bottom of the Crock Pot. Add the minced garlic on top of the onions.
Transfer the seared ribs to the Crock Pot, arranging them evenly on top of the onion and garlic layer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Pour the mixture over the ribs, ensuring all pieces are coated.
Cover the Crock Pot with its lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 6 hours, or until the ribs are fork-tender and fully cooked.
Once done, carefully remove the ribs from the Crock Pot using tongs, as they will be very tender.
Optional: Serve the ribs with extra sauce from the Crock Pot drizzled on top, alongside your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread.
