Ingredients

  • 3 pounds ribs
  • 2 cups BBQ sauce homemade or store-bought

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Spritz slow cooker insert with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray. 
  2. Arrange the rack of ribs by standing them on their ends around the edges of the insert. 
  3. Pour about 3/4 cup of the BBQ sauce over the ribs, place the lid onto the slow cooker and set the timer for 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high. 
  4. Before serving, remove the ribs from the slow cooker and cut into individual ribs. Brush with additional BBQ sauce, about 1/4 cup. Serve on a platter with remaining sauce. 

Notes

  • If the membrane on underside of the ribs has not been removed by the butcher, I always remove before I cook the ribs. 
  • To make ahead. Prepare as directed. Cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • To freeze. Prepare as directed, cool completely, and store in a freezer-safe, airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
