Instructions

- If your ribs come in a rack, remove any skin from the back of the ribs and cut them into smaller pieces so that they will fit into a crock pot.
- Rub the seasoning mixture onto both sides of 4-5 lbs of ribs.
- Pour 1/2 cup of water into the bottom of the crock pot.
- Layer the ribs into the crock pot and pour barbecue sauce on top as evenly as possible.
- Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until they are tender.
- Carefully move the ribs to a baking sheet lined with foil. Brush the ribs with the remaining barbecue sauce.

Notes
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5-6 days.
You can also grill the ribs a few minutes on each side instead of broiling them if you prefer. Don’t skip this step as it adds a ton of flavor to the sauce by caramelizing it.
