Ingredients
- 2 pounds Country-style pork ribs
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
- 1 medium Yellow onion, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Water or chicken broth
Directions
Step 1
Season the country-style pork ribs with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper on all sides.
Step 2
Spread half of the sliced onion evenly on the bottom of the crock pot.
Step 3
Place the seasoned ribs in the crock pot, arranging them in a single layer (you can overlap slightly if needed).
Step 4
Top the ribs with the remaining sliced onion.
Step 5
Pour the barbecue sauce evenly over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 6
Add water or chicken broth to the crock pot, pouring it around the edges to avoid washing off the sauce from the ribs.
Step 7
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the ribs are tender and easily pull apart with a fork.
Step 8
Once cooked, carefully remove the ribs from the crock pot. Use a spoon to drizzle some of the cooking liquid over the ribs for extra flavor.
Step 9
Serve the ribs hot with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread.
