Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork baby back ribs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke (optional)
- 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
Instructions
Start by preparing the ribs. Remove the silver skin membrane from the back of the ribs for better seasoning penetration and tenderness.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder to create a dry rub.
Rub the dry seasoning mixture all over the ribs, ensuring an even coating on both sides.
If using liquid smoke, lightly drizzle it over the ribs for an added smoky flavor.
Cut the ribs into 2 to 3 bone sections to fit them into the crock pot properly.
Arrange the rib sections in the crock pot, stacking them in layers if necessary.
Pour 1 cup of the barbecue sauce over the ribs, spreading it evenly to coat the meat.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook the ribs on LOW for 7-8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours, depending on your available time. The ribs are done when they're tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone.
Once the ribs are cooked, preheat your broiler to high heat (or you can use a grill).
Carefully remove the ribs from the crock pot and place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
Brush the remaining 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce generously over the ribs for a glossy finish.
Broil the ribs for 4-6 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning, until the sauce becomes bubbly and caramelized.
Serve the ribs hot with your favorite side dishes, such as coleslaw, cornbread, or baked beans.
