Slow Cooker Ribs

One of the best ways to make ribs! These Slow Cooker Ribs are actually fall off the bone tender and full of flavor. 

If there is a way I can make it in the slow cooker I will try it! This past summer my husband had been grilling up a storm! One of my favorites was the ribs he grilled and I bought more at the store the very next week.

Thunderstorms ruined my plans and so into the slow cooker they went. The ribs turned out amazing!

They are so tender they actually fall off right the bone. If you love slow cooker recipes as much as I do then make sure to check out my other ones next.

How to make Slow Cooker Ribs:

Making ribs can be a tedious recipe to make. Whether in a smoker or on a grill, the term cook them low and slow applies on any method you cook ribs.

So that is why I have come up with the perfect recipe to cook these ribs in my slow cooker! Mix your spices together and rub down your ribs. Smother your ribs in BBQ Sauce, then cook them low and slow!

Ingredients:

• Pork Ribs
• Salt
• Pepper
• Garlic Powder
• Onion Powder
• Brown Sugar
• Chili Powder
• Paprika
• BBQ Sauce

Directions:

Step One - Start by mixing together all your seasoning then rub ribs with this seasoning mix.

Step Two - Brush and smother your ribs with your BBQ Sauce.

Step Three - Place ribs in the slow cooker with the fatty part touching the outside on the slow cooker.

How long to cook:

Cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 7-8 hours or until your pork is cooked through and tender.

Remember that every slow cooker is different and can cook things differently.

Make sure to check the temperature of your meat before serving.

How do you know if the ribs are done?

When cooking ribs or any meat with a bone in it, you want to make sure the meat "almost" falls off the bone.

It is possible to overcook ribs, and while you can cook them on high in the slow cooker, I recommend cooking them on low for 6-7 hours.

If the meat is literally falling off the bones, it has more than likely been overcooked. You want the meat to come off with light pressure.

Best placement for ribs in a slow cooker:

You can do a couple different options. You can curl the ribs along the walls of the slow cooker.

If your ribs are too long, you can slice them and stack them in your slow cooker as well.
