Tax Day Ribs Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient
What You Need
-
3 to 4 pounds raw pork baby back ribs (take off the thin skin on the bone side if you want)
-
1 1/2 cups BBQ sauce (pick your fave from the store)
-
1/2 cup ketchup
-
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
-
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
How to Make Tax Day Ribs Slow Cooker
- Put the raw ribs on a cutting board. If there’s a shiny thin skin on the bone side, use a knife to lift it and pull it off with a paper towel. It makes ribs softer, but skip if you’re fast.
- Cut the ribs into small groups of 3 or 4 so they fit in your slow cooker nice and tight. This cooks them even and easy to eat.
- Lay the rib pieces in the slow cooker in one flat layer, meat side down. They can overlap a little, but keep them mostly flat so sauce covers all.
- In a bowl, mix BBQ sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth and sugar melts.
- Pour the sauce all over the ribs. Lift ribs a bit with a spoon so sauce goes under and around. Spoon more on top to cover everything.
- Put the lid on. Cook it on low heat for 7-8 hrs or high heat for 3.5-4 hrs. Ribs are ready when super soft but stay together, and meat pulls off bone easy.
- Use tongs and a big spoon to take ribs out—they’re wobbly! Put on a plate. For thicker sauce, scoop fat off the cooker juice, pour some in a pot, and boil on stove 5-10 minutes to make it stickier.
- Spoon warm sauce on ribs before eating. Serve hot with extra sauce and napkins!
