Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork baby back ribs
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
Directions
Step 1
Remove the silver membrane from the back of the ribs using a small knife or your fingers. This step helps make the ribs tender.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and brown sugar to create a dry rub.
Step 3
Pat the ribs dry with paper towels and evenly coat both sides with the prepared dry rub.
Step 4
Cut the ribs into sections of 3-4 ribs to fit snugly in your crock pot.
Step 5
Place the rib sections into the crock pot, stacking them upright along the sides if necessary.
Step 6
Pour 1 cup of barbecue sauce over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Reserve the remaining 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce for later.
Step 7
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on the LOW setting for 8 hours (or HIGH for 4-5 hours) until the ribs are tender and easily pull apart.
Step 8
Once cooked, carefully remove the ribs from the crock pot and place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
Step 9
Brush the ribs with the remaining barbecue sauce and broil in the oven on high for 3-5 minutes to caramelize the sauce. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Step 10
Serve the ribs hot with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw or cornbread. Enjoy!
