Crock Pot BBQ Ribs.

Cock Pot BBQ Ribs

I am not a grill master. I have never even turned the grill on. But if it can be cooked in the kitchen, I've got it made! So I found away around the grill.  My husband's most favorite food is Ribs. He bought a small rack of ribs a couple of months ago and put them in the freezer. However since we travel for a living, we live in a 40foot 5th wheel and if you know RV's then you understand his ribs were taking up precious freezer space. Working double shifts he never had time to get them on the grill for us. So for his birthday I made him ribs in the Crock Pot. They turned out so yummy and tender. Give them a try! 

4 pounds pork ribs
salt, pepper, garlic powder, & onion powder

For the Sauce:
2 cups of your favorite barbecue sauce(I used Dr. Pepper BBQ sauce, I'm from Texas)
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons dried oregano
(optional) 1 Tablespoon liquid smoke (if you like a smokey flavor)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Peel off the film layer off of the back of the ribs, rub in your desired amount of salt, pepper, garlic powder, & onion powder. Bake for 15 minutes & then turn over bake for 15 more minutes. 

In a medium bowl combine BBQ sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire, oregano, and 

liquid smoke if desired.

Place ribs in a large slow cooker (at least 6 quart). You can cut them in half if you need to. Pour sauce on top & cook on low for 6-8 hours or until tender.

If you want to caramelize your BBQ sauce put them back in the oven for 15 minutes at 400 degrees.

Enjoy!
