Crockpot BBQ Ribs

Crockpot ribs are guaranteed to be fall off the bone tender.

Ingredients:

2 racks baby back ribs or pork spare ribs

2 cups barbecue sauce (I prefer my homemade or Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce)

Salt and pepper or optional dry rub (my choice)

Dry Rub (optional)

1 tablespoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground mustard

Instructions:

Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Just slide your fingers around the side to loosen it up and rip it right off.

In a small bowl, stir together the ingredients for the dry rub. Rub this mixture generously over the outside of the ribs to coat.

Put your ribs in the crockpot.

Drizzle on 1 1/2 cups of barbecue sauce, reserving 1/2 cup for later.

Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. The more racks in the pot, the longer you'll need to cook.

Gently remove the racks and lay them out on a foil lined baking sheet.

Brush on the reserved barbecue sauce.

Broil under a broiler for 3-5 minutes until the barbecue sauce starts to bubble and caramelize.

Alternately you could wrap them in foil and throw them on a heated grill for the same effect.

Tip: Use a crockpot liner to make clean up a breeze. No scrubbing out caramelized, burnt on sauce.
