Slow Cooker Ribs
Description
This recipe segments baby back ribs to fit in the slow cooker, then coats them with a barbecue spice rub and drizzles them with barbecue sauce for flavor and moisture. The ribs are stacked and cooked on high for 3-4 hours or low for 7-8 hours, allowing the meat to become tender and infused with the seasoning.
After slow cooking, the ribs are transferred to a sheet pan coated with cooking spray and brushed with additional barbecue sauce. They are broiled for a few minutes to caramelize the sauce and develop a sticky glaze, adding texture contrast to the tender meat.
Sliced before serving, these ribs are ideal for a relaxed meal with minimal active cooking but a satisfying smoky, saucy taste and fall-apart tenderness. The method balances ease with a flavorful BBQ experience.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds baby back ribs trimmed and membrane removed
- 1/4 cup bbq spice rub homemade or store bought
- 1 1/2 cups BBQ sauce divided use

- Rub the spice blend all over the tops of the ribs, then drizzle 1 cup of barbecue sauce over the tops of the ribs.

- Remove the ribs from the slow cooker and place on a sheet pan coated with cooking spray. Preheat broiler.

- Slice the ribs, then serve.
