Easy Crock-Pot Bbq Ribs Made Inwards The Deadening Cooker (Video)

Learn how to construct the easiest (10-minute prep) fall-off-the-bone deadening cooker ribs that volition have got everyone licking their fingers & plates! This is the best method for fixing bbq ribs if you lot don't ain a smoker or it's mutual frigidity outside. Cook the ribs inwards every bit trivial every bit 4 hours using the high setting on your crock-pot. Use your favorite rack of ribs (spare, province style, babe back, beef) too barbecue sauce for an piece of cake comforting repast whatsoever dark of the week.  

I'm betting you're hither because you lot either dear ribs or desire to create a rack for someone else who does. If so, you're inwards the correct place! Why? Ribs are my absolute favorite food.

Smoked pork ribs, to live exact, but those are a project of dear (hours of babysitting the smoker/charcoal grill to construct sure enough it stays at a consistent temp). 

Which is totally worth it to me because I'm from Kansas City (barbecue upper-case missive of the alphabet of the world) too it's difficult to abide by skillful smoked barbecue close me that compares (sorry, Dallas). 

And for the record, my favorite KC barbecue eating theater is Oklahoma Joe's (now Joe's Kansas City). I also similar Gates too Q39, but I unremarkably stick to Joe's thus I tin strength out larn my z-man alongside fries fix. :P

So, when I can't ready my ain smoked ribs (weather & fourth dimension plays a part), my 2nd favorite method for making ribs is inwards the deadening cooker. 

NOT the oven. Big fatty nope on that one.

Why Make Ribs inwards a Slow Cooker Instead of the Oven?

Every fourth dimension I've tried the oven, the ribs don't plough out tender plenty too the meat tastes real "meh". Probably because it's cooked at a lower temperature covered inwards foil, thus the exterior hardly develops whatsoever caramelization. 

In contrast, ribs cooked inwards the crock-pot yield meat that is fall-off-the-bone tender, juicy, too flavored alongside fatty (this is role of the argue why I similar St. Louis manner spare ribs the best). You don't desire tough too dry out meat.

And cooking it on the HIGH setting inwards a deadening cooker helps to create a chip of caramelization on the edges of the ribs from the barbecue sauce that has dripped down.

How to Make Slow Cooker Ribs

First things first, you lot have got 2 options when it comes to ingredients: store-bought or homemade. If you lot have got access to high-quality spice blends too bottled barbecue sauces, using store-bought ingredients in all probability seems similar a no-brainer. It also cuts downwardly on the prep fourth dimension (only 10 minutes), which is a large bonus. 

However, if you're avoiding sure enough ingredients (gluten-free, paleo or whole30) or desire to exhibit someone you lot dear 'em past times making it all from scratch (lots of room to larn creative), a homemade sauce too spice blend is the way to go. It's on my curt listing to experiment alongside a homemade sweetness & spicy version! (Let's larn inwards happen, Elaina.)

Once you lot have got the ingredients ready (homemade or store-bought), it's every bit unproblematic as:

1. rubbing the ribs on both sides alongside a generous coating of dry out spices
2. placing the rack standing upwardly inwards the crock-pot close the wall (this prevents the ribs from turning into a soggy mess inwards the juices)
3. drizzling your favorite barbecue sauce (I unremarkably mix 2 types) over the ribs on both sides
4. cooking the ribs on HIGH for nigh 4 hours (give or have got depending on the size of your ribs too how  many racks you lot position in)

Important Tips For Making The Best Ribs In Your Slow Cooker

1. Use a Barbecue Sauce You LOVE. 

You desire it to sense of savor REALLY GOOD. This is important! Don't utilisation a BBQ sauce that makes you lot experience "meh". PUH-LEASE select a construct (or homemade recipe) that knocks your socks off too makes you lot desire to dip every dang matter inwards it. The barbecue sauce is a cardinal constituent hither since at that spot is no fume involved.

Why? The BBQ sauce thickens too reduces downwardly piece inwards the crock-pot, almost forming a glaze on the ribs. That thickened sauce + tender meat + background of rub spices = all the flavor.

Lately, I've been doing a combo of Trader Joe's Organic Kansas City Style Barbecue Sauce too either Rufus Teague's Blazin' Hot or Lillie's Hot Smoky Memphis-Style alongside Heat. It would also live EXCELLENT alongside Oklahoma Joe's Original Barbecue Sauce or Night of the Living BBQ Sauce (my favorite of theirs). 

2. Use Your Favorite Type of Ribs.

You have got quite a few options too they'll all operate inwards the deadening cooker (as long every bit they fit). My favorite cutting is St. Louis manner pork spare ribs because they're meatier too have got a chip to a greater extent than fat, which agency to a greater extent than flavor. 

You tin strength out also practise baby dorsum ribs if you lot prefer to a greater extent than ribs on a rack alongside less meat on each bone. Another pop pick is boneless province manner ribs (probably because they become on sale often). 

TIP: Ribs freeze good thus if you lot abide by them on sale, purchase several racks at ane time thus you lot tin strength out move on them on manus for deadening cooking, grilling or smoking. 

You could also opt for beef ribs if you're avoiding pork. My recipe is based on St. Louis-style specifically, thus if you lot switch upwardly the diverseness used, cheque on them an hr before inwards instance they create faster. 

3. For Extra Caramelization Finish The Ribs Under The Broiler. 

Using my deadening cooker on the high setting tends to char/caramelize the edges of the meats I create inwards it (like pork shoulder or Mississippi roast, for example). But from reading the copious Pinterest "tried it" comments on this recipe, it seems that lots of folks don't larn the same charring results. 

There's an piece of cake ready for that though! You'll desire to gently identify the rack of ribs on a baking canvas (it should live practically falling apart), rub the transcend alongside a chip of extra barbecue sauce, too stick the ribs nether the broiler for 3-5 minutes to caramelize the sauce.

4. If You Skip The Barbecue Sauce, Use a Really Good Dry Rub.

The barbecue sauce adds the bulk of the flavor when you lot ready ribs inwards a deadening cooker, but you lot could definitely construct a dry out rub the star too serve extra barbecue sauce on the side instead. You'll desire to practise a thick coating on both sides of the ribs too in all probability take the membrane (silver skin) on the back, every bit well. At the halt of create time, pop the rack nether the broiler inwards the oven for 5-ish minutes to allow the sugars inwards the dry out rub caramelize a bit. 

What to Serve alongside Crock-Pot Ribs

You'll have got plenty of extra fourth dimension piece the ribs are deadening cooking, thus why non construct an piece of cake side dish or 2 to serve alongside the meal?  

Here are some of my favorite sides:

• Balsamic Roasted Green Beans
• Mashed Cauliflower "Potatoes" alongside Roasted Garlic
• Red Cabbage Coleslaw alongside Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing
• Sauteed Asparagus alongside Garlic, Butter & Parmesan Cheese
• Watermelon Salad alongside Coconut Lime Dressing 
• Cheddar Garlic Buttermilk Drop Biscuits (25-minute recipe)
• sauerkraut, kimchi and/or spicy pickles

Also...leafy side salads alongside an piece of cake homemade salad dressing like:

• maple balsamic vinaigrette (this is my go-to salad dressing)
• blue cheese dressing
• buttermilk garlic ranch dressing
• apple cider vinaigrette (creamy or whisked)
• chimichurri sauce

Easy Crock-Pot BBQ Ribs

prep time: 10 minscook time: 4 hourtotal time: 4 hours too 10 mins

Learn how to construct the easiest (10-minute prep) fall-off-the-bone deadening cooker ribs that volition have got everyone licking their fingers & plates! This is the best method for fixing bbq ribs if you lot don't ain a smoker or it's mutual frigidity outside. Cook the ribs inwards every bit trivial every bit 4 hours using the high setting on your crock-pot. Use your favorite rack of ribs (spare, province style, babe back, beef) too barbecue sauce for an piece of cake comforting repast whatsoever dark of the week.

ingredients:

• 2 1/2 to three lbs. of pork ribs (I used St. Louis Style because they're meatier)
• Sea salt, to sense of savor (like THIS) - conform according to the saltiness of your barbecue sauce
• Black pepper, to sense of savor (I similar to add together a generous amount)
• 1 teaspoon of granulated garlic or garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon of onion powder
• 2 teaspoons of your favorite seasoning blend or rib rub (I used a pineapple serrano seasoning)
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups of barbecue sauce* (homemade or store-bought)
• *The barbecue sauce is a cardinal constituent hither (since the ribs won't have got whatsoever smoke/grill flavor), thus construct sure enough to select a construct or recipe that you lot LOVE! I often mix a smoky too sweetness Kansas City-style sauce alongside a spicy barbecue sauce for a skillful residue of sweetness too spicy. And if you're next a Paleo or Whole30 diet, you'll probable desire to construct your ain barbecue sauce thus you lot tin strength out command the ingredients inwards it.

Recommended Equipment

• slow cooker (I dear THIS cheap manual deadening cooker)

instructions:

1. Season your rack of ribs alongside salt, dark pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, too favorite seasoning blend. Feel costless to utilisation my measurements every bit a guideline and add to a greater extent than if you lot desire a thicker coating of dry out rub. Place the ribs inwards the crock-pot on their side (standing up) alongside the meatier side facing the inner wall.
2. Pour the barbecue sauce over the ribs on both sides too allow it drip down. You tin strength out add together to a greater extent than sauce hither if you lot desire a thicker coating, but I similar to move on it a chip lighter (enough to cast a glaze piece it cooks) piece yet having the rub shine through. Plus, you lot tin strength out ever add together to a greater extent than sauce at the end. :)
3. Close the lid too create on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours or until the ribs are real tender (meat easily comes off the os and/or the ribs dissever without much effort).
4. To serve, gently movement the ribs to a large platter or baking canvas too spoon some of the cooking juices all over the rack, making sure enough to furnish extra barbecue sauce on the side for those who desire it (I never halt upwardly using more).
5. Store whatsoever leftover ribs + the cooking juices inwards the fridge. To reheat, identify the ribs inwards an oven-safe baking dish, spoon over to a greater extent than cooking juices, comprehend alongside a lid or foil too bake at 350 degrees until warmed through (about thirty minutes or so). Reheating covered inwards the oven helps to move on the meat juicy too tender, whereas other methods (like the microwave) may overcook too dry out out the ribs.

NOTES:

In instance you're wondering, I've alone used the HIGH setting thus far too they yet plough out amazing! It's smashing for when you're surfing Pinterest or Instagram later tiffin too larn a abrupt craving for ribs. By thus it's also belatedly inwards the twenty-four hr menstruation to create something depression too slow, but non when you lot using the high oestrus feature. :)  Cooking fourth dimension may vary slightly depending on the size of your crock-pot too ribs. If your deadening cooker typically cooks faster, cheque on them earlier. If your ribs are bigger, plough over them an extra 30-60 minutes or more.  If you lot desire to double or triple the recipe (you may require to conform cooking times) you lot should have got plenty room for 2-3 racks of ribs when they're placed inwards the deadening cooker this way.  My guy & I tin strength out smooth off 2/3 of a rack at this weight past times ourselves served alongside small-scale portions of sides (like salad too mac n' cheese). You could definitely stretch it to serve 4 people if you lot plough over each mortal a smaller portion of ribs too serve alongside 2-3 larger portioned side items.
