Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Country-style pork ribs
- 2 cups Barbecue sauce (your favorite)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Spray the inside of your crock pot with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the seasoning mixture evenly onto all sides of the country-style pork ribs.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs on each side until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. This step adds flavor but can be skipped if you're short on time.
Transfer the seared ribs to the crock pot.
In a separate bowl, whisk together barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Pour this mixture over the ribs in the crock pot, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on low for 7 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the ribs are tender and easily pull apart with a fork.
Optional: For a caramelized finish, remove the ribs from the crock pot and place them on a baking sheet lined with foil. Brush with additional barbecue sauce if desired and broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Serve the ribs hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread.
