Directions
Enjoy tender and flavorful barbecue ribs with this easy crockpot recipe. Perfect for a hassle-free dinner that’s sure to be a hit with family and friends.
Get the sauce ready: Combine the Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, cayenne pepper (if using), and barbecue sauce in a large zip-lock bag.
Combine the ingredients: Once the bag is sealed, use your hands to fully combine the ingredients for the sauce.
Include the Ribs: Carefully open the bag and transfer the ribs inside. To make sure the ribs are properly covered with the barbecue sauce mixture, seal the bag once more and give it a good shake.
Crock-pot Configuration: To keep it from sticking, give the interior of your crockpot a quick spray with cooking spray. After that, unzip the bag and place the ribs into the slow cooker. Make sure the ribs are well covered by pouring about ¾ of the remaining sauce from the bag over them.
Cooking Time: Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 9 hours for fall-off-the-bone tenderness. Use a 7-hour low cooking period if you like your meat very tender but still sticking to the bones.
Serving suggestion: Set aside some sauce to put on the side so that each person can top their ribs with more if they'd like.
Conclusion
These slow cooker ribs are the best — they turn out perfect every time! They cook in a crockpot until tender, then are covered with barbeque sauce and finished in the oven for fall-apart ribs. Perfect for during the week as the slow cooker does most of the work!
