Tender, juicy, and infused with sweet and smoky barbecue flavors, these crockpot ribs are the perfect comfort food for a hearty meal. With minimal prep and slow-cooked perfection, this recipe guarantees fall-off-the-bone deliciousness.
Ingredients
2 cups of your favorite barbecue sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
3 cloves garlic, freshly minced
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for added heat)
4 to 5 pounds baby back ribs
Directions
Prepare the Sauce
In a large zip-lock bag, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper (if using).
Seal the bag and knead it with your hands to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
Marinate the Ribs
Open the bag and place the baby back ribs inside. Seal the bag again and shake it to ensure the ribs are fully coated with the sauce mixture.
Set Up the Crockpot
Spray the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray.
Open the bag and transfer the ribs into the crockpot. Pour ¾ of the sauce over the ribs, ensuring they are well-covered.
Cook the Ribs
For fall-off-the-bone ribs, cook on high for 4–5 hours or on low for 9 hours.
If you prefer ribs that are tender but stay on the bone, cook on low for 7 hours.
Serve and Enjoy
Use the remaining sauce as a table condiment, allowing everyone to add extra flavor as desired.
