Ingredients
- 4 ½ cups BBQ sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray's)
- ½ tablespoon salt
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 6 pounds pork ribs
Instructions
- To a medium mixing bowl, add the BBQ sauce, minced garlic, and salt. Mix to combine. Pour half of the sauce into the slow cooker.
- Add the ribs into the crock pot in sections. I prefer to put them in with the bones standing up for even distribution of sauce and tenderness. (You do not have to remove the membrane off the back.)
- Pour the remaining sauce over top of the ribs. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours (see notes).
- Once cooked, remove the ribs from the slow cooker and place them on a baking sheet lined with foil. Set aside. (see notes)
- Ladle some of the BBQ sauce in the crock into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat but keep a fast boil for about 2 minutes until thickened. Spoon the fat off the top and place the sauce in a small bowl to serve with the ribs.
- Place an oven rack in the top position. Then set your oven to broil. Place the baking sheet with the ribs on the top rack and broil for 1-2 minutes or until lightly charred. (keep an eye on things so the ribs don't burn!)
- Serve the ribs an large sections, cut into smaller sections, or into individual bones before serving warm with the dipping sauce.

Notes
- I find that 8 hours on LOW is perfect. If you want fall-off-the-bone ribs, you can cook them for 9-10 hours.
- do not
- I find that 8 hours on LOW is perfect. If you want fall-off-the-bone ribs, you can cook them for 9-10 hours.
- I do not recommend cooking the ribs on HIGH for 4-5 hours, regardless of what other websites say. They are too tough... low and slow is the way to go.
- You don't have to broil the ribs once they're done cooking. I like to broil them for a little char and texture. You can serve them with the dipping sauce directly from the slow cooker.
