Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Country-style pork ribs
- 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Liquid smoke
- 1 spritz Cooking spray
Instructions
Lightly spray the interior of your crock pot with cooking spray for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a dry rub.
Pat the country-style pork ribs dry with a paper towel, then rub the spice mixture evenly over each rib until thoroughly coated.
Place the seasoned ribs in the crock pot, arranging them in a single layer if possible.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke until well blended.
Pour the barbecue sauce mixture evenly over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours, or until the ribs are tender and easily pull apart with a fork.
Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the ribs from the crock pot and arrange them on a serving platter.
Optional: To achieve a caramelized finish, brush the ribs with additional barbecue sauce and broil them in the oven on high for 3-5 minutes.
Serve the ribs hot with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, mashed potatoes, or cornbread.
