Slow Cooker Country Style Ribs
Description
This recipe uses country style pork ribs seasoned with a mixture of brown sugar, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. The ribs are placed in a slow cooker, then coated with a sauce combining ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Cooking on low heat for 8 to 10 hours tenderizes the ribs and melds the flavors. After slow cooking, the ribs are transferred to a foil-lined baking sheet and spooned with sauce before broiling or grilling briefly to achieve caramelized edges and browning.
The result is tender ribs with a rich, tangy, and slightly sweet sauce that complements the pork's natural flavor. The slow cooker method simplifies preparation while ensuring moistness. Broiling at the end creates a textured finish with a visually appealing glaze.
These ribs can be served as a main dish alongside traditional sides. The recipe requires minimal hands-on time, with the majority spent on slow cooking. The broiling step should be monitored closely to prevent burning.
