Cook the ribs on LOW for ⏱️ 6-8 hours until the meat is tender and falls off the bone. You can cook them on HIGH for 4-hours, but ribs are usually better suited for low and slow cooking.

Once the ribs are cooked and tender, remove them from the slow cooker and place them meaty side up on 1-2 baking sheets that are lined with lightly greased aluminum foil. Brush some sauce from the slow cooker on top of the ribs and broil on high for a few minutes until the edges begin to look crisp. Remove the ribs from the oven and lightly tent with foil to prepare the rest of the sauce.
