This recipe for Slow-Cooker BBQ Ribs allows you to enjoy tender pork ribs coated in a rich homemade BBQ sauce, reminiscent of summer barbecues and family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale:
2-3 pounds Pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs)
1/4 cup Brown sugar
2 tablespoons Paprika
1 tablespoon Garlic powder
1 tablespoon Onion powder
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Black pepper
1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
1-2 cups Homemade BBQ sauce
Instructions
Prepare the ribs by removing the silver skin from the back; this helps to enhance tenderness.
In a mixing bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to create a savory rib seasoning.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the ribs, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Place the ribs in the slow cooker, standing them upright if possible to maximize space. Pour your homemade BBQ sauce over the top, covering the ribs generously.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the ribs are tender and the meat has pulled away from the bone.
Once cooked, carefully remove the ribs from the slow cooker. If desired, brush them with additional BBQ sauce and broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes for a caramelized finish.
Allow the ribs to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving with your favorite side dishes.
