Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Country-style pork ribs
- 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
- 1 large Onion
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
Slice the onion into rings and layer them on the bottom of the Crock Pot.
Pat the country-style pork ribs dry with a paper towel and season generously on all sides with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the ribs for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. This step is optional but adds extra flavor.
Place the seared ribs on top of the onions in the Crock Pot.
In a small bowl, mix together barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Pour this mixture over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Cover the Crock Pot with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the ribs are tender and easily pull apart with a fork.
Once cooked, carefully remove the ribs from the Crock Pot and set them on a serving platter.
If desired, transfer the leftover sauce and onions from the Crock Pot to a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes to thicken. Serve this sauce alongside the ribs or drizzle it over them.
Serve the ribs warm with your choice of sides, such as coleslaw, mashed potatoes, or cornbread.
