Instructions

  1. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs.  Use a butter knife to lift the membrane and then pull the entire membrane off the back of the ribs. Pat the ribs dry with a paper towel.
  2. Mix together the seasonings in a small bowl.  Evenly rub the seasonings on both sides of the ribs.
  3. Place the ribs in a slow cooker.  Pour the water into the slow cooker around the ribs.  Then pour the barbecue sauce on top of the ribs.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the ribs are tender.
  5. After the cook time, place the ribs on a baking sheet lined with foil and brush the ribs with the remaining barbecue sauce.  Broil for 3-4 minutes until caramelized.
  6. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Refrigerate the leftover ribs in an airtight container for up to 5 days.   You can easily use your favorite type of BBQ sauce to make this recipe.  I love using baby back ribs for this recipe but spare ribs, country style pork ribs and beef short ribs will work in this recipe as well.  
  • Be careful when moving the ribs from the crock pot to the sheet pan as they may fall apart.  I use 2 sets of tongs to carefully remove them from the crock pot after the cooking time.
