Easy Slow Cooker Ribs
It still may be over 100 degrees here still, but I will do anything to make an easy crockpot meal. These ribs were really good, they fell off the bone, and cooked perfectly with the right amount of flavor. I tried making these a few weeks ago but unfortunately the ribs we purchased smelled really, really bad. Just a word of advice, the ribs aren't supposed to smell. If they do, do not use them. I ended up getting a refund thank goodness and couldn't wait to reorder them to make this recipe. As you can see from the photos, the ribs were massive. I definitely didn't need to buy as many as I did but I did end up breaking them so they fit in the crockpot easier. It was a little bit difficult adding the seasoning and sauce on ribs that were so large, but it worked.
For future reference, I will be putting the ribs in a pan instead of on a baking sheet. The liquid unfortunately poured off the sides and with a pan, it will allow the liquid to stay in and around the ribs. I suggest letting the ribs cook in the crockpot for the full 7 hours (try not to open the crockpot if you can) to allow the ribs to be as tender as possible. Don't worry, the rub and sauce will mold right into the ribs and it will turn out delicious. Adding a quick broil allows the sauce to caramelize and the ribs to have the perfect amount of crisp.
