Slow Cooker Ribs
This is my favorite ribs recipe, they are melt-in-your-mouth tender and amazingly flavorful! Everyone will love that homemade sauce and you'll love how easy these are to make. When you are short on time a store-bought bbq sauce will work here as well.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Remove then membrane layer from back of the ribs, then if the ribs are too wide to fit sideways along insert of slow cooker then cut ribs in half.
2
Rinse and dab dry then sprinkle and rub both sides of each portion with spice mixture.
3
Pour 1/2 cup water into a 6-quart slow cooker. Place ribs over water (one layered over the other if you had to cut in half, otherwise curl around inside of slow cooker insert).
4
Cover and cook on low heat 6 1/⏱️ 2 - 7 hours or until very tender.
5
Place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminium foil.
6
Carefully transfer ribs with curved side up to wire rack on baking sheet (I recommend using two pair of tongs or tongs and a turner to lift them, they are super tender).
7
Brush with about 1/2 cup bbq sauce (total). Move oven rack 2 levels below broiler and heat broiler.
8
Broil ribs until bbq sauce starts to set and caramelize, about ⏱️ 2 - 3 minutes (keep a close eye on them).
9
Remove from oven, carefully turn ribs brush with another 1/2 cup sauce and return to oven and broil about ⏱️ 2 - 3 minutes. Serve warm.
