Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork baby back ribs
- 2 cups Barbecue sauce (your favorite brand)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Paprika (smoked or sweet)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke (optional)
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Prepare the crockpot by spraying the interior with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Using a sharp knife, remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs for better seasoning and tenderness.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a dry rub.
Evenly coat the ribs on all sides with the dry rub, pressing the mixture into the meat to adhere.
Cut the ribs into 2-3 rib sections to ensure they fit into the crockpot comfortably.
Place the seasoned ribs into the crockpot in layers, meat side up.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and liquid smoke (if using).
Pour the barbecue sauce mixture evenly over the ribs, ensuring all the pieces are well coated.
Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 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 crockpot and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
If desired, brush additional barbecue sauce onto the ribs and broil them in the oven for 3-5 minutes on high to caramelize the sauce and add a slight char.
Serve the ribs hot with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, cornbread, or mashed potatoes.
