Slow Cooker Baby Back Ribs

These tender, juicy, slow cooked, baby back pork ribs are finger lickin' good!!
Course: Entrée
Cuisine: American
Servings: 2 racks

Ingredients

  • 3 T. smoked paprika
  • 2 T. light brown sugar lightly packed
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. pepper
  • 2 racks baby back pork ribs
  • 3 c. barbecue sauce plus more for serving

Instructions

  • Spray the inside of your slow cooker with vegetable spray.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together paprika, brown sugar, cayenne salt & pepper. Rub this mixture all over both sides of your ribs well.
  • Arrange ribs in the slow cooker by standing them up against the wall and bending them to fit, thicker side down and meaty side against the pot.
  • Pour barbecue sauce all over and between the ribs, cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to broil. Place the oven rack about 10-inches below the broiler element.
  • Very carefully (as they are tender) remove the ribs from the slow cooker to a baking sheet lined with foil and a rack, bone side up. Brush the ribs with more bbq sauce and broil for 3 or 4 minutes.
  • Take them out and very carefully flip them over, brush with sauce and broil again, meat side up, for approximately 5-7 minutes.
  • Carefully remove ribs to a serving dish and cut into 2-rib sections. Slather with more bbq sauce if desired.
  • Cooks' Note: I used a 5 qt. Crockpot
