Description
These are the BEST slow cooker ribs! You’ll never believe that these crockpot ribs can be made with only 2 INGREDIENTS! They’re saucy, slightly sticky and fall-off-the-bone delicious.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 lb – 3 lb rack of back ribs*
- 3/4 cup barbeque sauce of choice, divided
Instructions
- Place the rack(s) of ribs on a cutting board or baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, spread 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup of sauce over the front of the ribs (the meaty side). Add 1/4 cup of sauce to the bottom of the crockpot, spreading it around with the back of a spoon. Place the ribs along the walls of the crockpot, put the lid on and cook the ribs on low, for 6-7 hours.**
- Preheat your oven to broil on high. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, then place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet. Remove the cooked ribs from the crockpot, to the wire rack. Using a pastry brush (do not use the one that you used on the raw ribs without cleaning it first), spread 1/4 cup of barbeque sauce over the top of the ribs (meaty side up) and place the ribs under the broiler for 5-6 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and the ribs look “sticky”. Serve immediately!
Leftover ribs keep in an airtight container, in the fridge, for 2-3 days.
Notes
*You can use a different cut of ribs, if that’s what you have, or a different size. Just be sure to account for the size different with the amount of barbeque sauce you use.
**If you have less time, you can speed up the cooking process by cooking the ribs on medium for 3-4 hours instead. Low and slow will result in a more tender meat, though!
