Slow Cooker Baby Back Ribs

My husband is a huge fan of barbecue ribs. I didn’t really like all the hassle involved in cooking them until I discovered the slow cooker method. It is as easy as making BBQ chicken wings in the oven!

Slow Cooker Baby Back Ribs

Let me tell you, this is the easiest way to make fall-off-the-bone tender ribs that are so juicy and delicious you won’t believe it.

Once they are cooked, baste them with your favorite barbecue sauce, bake them for 15 mins and you are done! I am certainly never making them any other way again!

INGREDIENTS:

• Baby back ribs
• Onion and garlic
• Barbecue sauce
• Water

Use your favorite barbecue sauce and don’t forget to add the water!

HOW TO COOK PORK BABY BACK RIBS IN THE SLOW COOKER?

1. Season the ribs with salt and pepper on both sides and cut them in half to fit inside the slow cooker.
2. Pour ½ cup water into the slow cooker. Place the ribs over the water and top with the sliced onions and minced garlic. Put the lid on and cook on high for 4 hours.
   
3. When the cooking time is over, preheat the oven to 375F. Take the ribs out of the slow cooker carefully, they will be very tender! Place them on a baking sheet and brush them with barbecue sauce. Bake them for 10-15 mins until the sauce caramelizes.
   

CAN YOU FREEZE COOKED BABY BACK RIBS?

You sure can. Wait until they cool down completely, wrap them in foil, put them inside freezer bags, and freeze for up to three months.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH SLOW COOKER BABY BACK RIBS?

I love to serve them potato salad, Taco Bell cheesy fiesta potatoes, or Creamed Potatoes. but french fries work just as well. You can also serve them with white rice pilaf and a side salad like Cucumber, Tomato, and Onion Salad.
