Instructions

  1. Cover a baking pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil and spray it well with cooking spray.
  2. Cut the ribs into serving-sized pieces with 1 or 2 rib bones per piece. Generously salt and pepper on both sides of the ribs.
  3. Place the ribs on the prepared baking pan and cook in a 400-degree oven for 30-45 minutes until they have a light golden brown color. Turn the ribs once or twice during the cooking time.
  4. Remove the ribs from the oven.
  5. Coat the inside of a large 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
  6. Place a single layer of ribs in the slow cooker. Spoon about 1/2 cup of barbecue sauce over the ribs.
  7. Continue layering ribs and sauce as in step 6 until all the ribs are in the crockpot. Pour any remaining sauce over and around the ribs.
  8. Cover and cook on the lowest heat setting for approximately 6 hours. Be sure to stir the pot once during the cooking time to prevent the sauce and ribs from burning. If the sauce seems too thick and in danger of burning add about 1/2 cup water and stir well.
  9. After about six hours of cooking, check the ribs with a meat thermometer to make sure they're done. See the post for temperature information.

Notes

  • To store leftovers, wrap the ribs tightly in aluminum foil, then place them in an airtight container. You can keep them in the fridge for 3 days before they start losing their freshness.
  • If you have a large oval shaped slow cooker, it will be perfect for this recipe. The long ribs fit into an oval cooker much easier than a smaller round style.
