Recipe Tips

Homemade Barbecue Sauce - We love making our sauces from scratch because you can control the ingredients. Making Homemade BBQ Sauce saves time, money and taste even better on these ribs.
Cooking Ribs - For the best results we recommend cooking the ribs on low. It helps to tenderize the meat which results the most flavorful ribs.
Cooking Spray - Feel free to spray the slow cooker with cooking spray if you have problems with the meat sticking.
Instant Pot - If you prefer, these ribs can be made in the instant. Place the ribs in the instant pot with 1 cup of water and add in your sauce ingredients. Then cook the ribs for about 15 minutes on high press and do a natural release for about 10. Then broil the ribs in the oven for a caramelize the texture.

This recipe is delicious just as it is however you can add a few additions if you would like.

Liquid Smoke - Liquid Smoke is a delicious addition to add smokey flavor
Add Seasonings - Garlic Powder, cumin, onion powder, and paprika are great to add
Onions - Slice up an onion and add it in the beginning of the slow cooking in a single layer.
Change the Meat - Pork chops, pork shoulder or a pork roast would work in this slow cooker recipe. Great idea for making amazing pulled pork for your friends and family. Feel free to make this recipe with boneless ribs as well. The cooking time will still be the same.
