CROCK POT RIBS RECIPE

Steps:

• Set the slow cooker to LOW and spray with nonstick cooking spray. (I always spray the underside of the lid to help with cleanup.)
• Remove the silver membrane from the back of the ribs. Here's a video with instructions. (You might have bought ribs with the membrane removed, and if so, skip this step.)
• In a small bowl, whisk together the paprika, brown sugar, salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Rub the dry-rub mix evenly over the ribs.
• Brush both sides of the rib with barbecue sauce and set the ribs in the slow cooker standing upright with the meaty side against the inside wall, of the slow cooker.
• Pour the remaining barbecue sauce over the ribs. If using a sweet sauce, pour the cider vinegar over the ribs.
• Cover and cook on LOW 5-6 hours or until the meat is fork-tender.
• Serve with additional store-bought barbecue sauce or strain the juices, from the pan, through a fine-mesh strainer into a medium saucepan.
• Bring the sauce to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer 15-20 minutes or until the mixture has reduced to 2 cups.
• To serve, slice the meat between the bones and serve with barbecue sauce.
• Enjoy!

BEST CROCK-POT BBQ RIBS

Steps:

• Cut each rack of ribs in half to more easily fit into the crock pot. Rub both sides of the ribs with generous portions of the rib rub.
• If you have time, refrigerate the ribs with the rub for 2-3 hours. If not, just place directly in the crock pot.
• Cook on low, 5-7 hours, until desired consistency (try to avoid having them totally fall apart as they will be more difficult to handle in the next step.).
• Remove ribs from the crock pot. Place on foil-covered cookie sheet. Baste both sides of ribs with sauce. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
