Crockpot Ribs Recipe
There’s nothing quite like homemade ribs. This recipe makes the perfect, mess-free crockpot ribs. Each bite of these barbecue ribs is full of tender meat that falls right off the bone.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 ½ tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
- 2 tsp paprika
- 3-4 pounds baby back pork ribs
- 2 cups barbecue sauce
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the sugar, onion powder, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika for the dry rub.
- Cut the meat between the bones.
- Season the meat on all sides of the ribs.
- Cook on low for 7-9 hours or 4-5 hours on high.
- Brush the ribs with the barbecue sauce and cook at 365°F for 8-10 minutes. This is optional, you can serve once you brush with barbecue or return to the crockpot to keep warm.
Notes
- Storage. Store leftover ribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Store the ribs in the sauce.
- Reheat. Warm the ribs in the sauce on a stovetop skillet until fully reheated.
- For a crispy finish, coat the ribs with barbecue sauce, transfer them to a baking dish lined with parchment paper, and cook for the last 10 minutes in the oven at 425°F.
- Whole ribs. If you don’t want to cut the ribs into pieces, just add another hour to cook time.
