Ingrédients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 rack Baby Back Ribs (about 3 lbs.)
  • 1 cup Barbecue Sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Dry Mustard
  • 1 tsp Brown Sugar

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the ribs dry with a paper towel to remove any moisture.
  2. Remove the thin membrane from the back of the ribs by sliding a sharp knife under it. Grab a paper towel and pull it off completely.
  3. Cut the rack of ribs in half so they fit in your slow cooker.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the dry rub (salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, dry mustard, brown sugar) and season the ribs on all sides.
Cooking
  1. Place one half of the ribs in your slow cooker (bone side down) and pour half of the barbecue sauce evenly on top.
  2. Top with the remaining half rack of ribs and pour the rest of the sauce on top.
  3. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or 3-4 hours on high heat.
  4. When they’re done, turn the oven to broil.
  5. Transfer the ribs to a foil-lined baking sheet. Baste them with sauce from the slow cooker.
  6. Broil the ribs for a couple of minutes until they nicely crisp up. Keep a close eye so they don’t burn!
Serving
  1. Serve ribs with the remaining sauce and enjoy!

Notes

Store leftover ribs in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to three months. Try different rubs for variety or add cayenne for a spicy kick.
