Ingredients
- 3 pound baby back pork ribs
- 1 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 3/4 cup barbecue sauce divided
Instructions
- 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.
- Mix together the seasonings in a small bowl. Evenly rub the seasonings on both sides of the ribs.
- 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.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the ribs are tender.
- 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.
- 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.
