This Slow Cooker Baby Back Ribs recipe is perfect for those who want to enjoy fall-off-the-bone ribs without spending hours slaving over a hot grill. Utilizing the magic of low and slow cooking in a crockpot, this easy ribs recipe ensures that the ribs become incredibly tender and flavorful.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 to 3 pounds baby back ribs, ideally with a good amount of meat on them
1 tablespoon savory rib seasoning, or more to taste for extra flavor
1 cup barbecue sauce for ribs (homemade or store-bought)
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs using a knife and paper towel.
Generously rub the savory rib seasoning over both sides of the ribs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar.
Place the seasoned ribs upright in the slow cooker and pour the barbecue sauce mixture over them.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours until the ribs are tender.
For a caramelized finish, place the ribs on a baking sheet, brush with additional barbecue sauce, and broil for 5 to 10 minutes.
Let the ribs cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
