SLOW COOKING BABY BACK RIBS IS THE WAY TO GO
We just love pork baby back ribs.
The slow cook method makes them tender and so delicious.
Ask your butcher to remove the membrane on the underside of the ribs.
The rub for these Slow Cooker Ribs is so simple to prepare, but makes all the difference in the world for authentic slow cooked ribs taste.
You get a little sweet with the brown sugar, and a little heat with the chili powder and cayenne.
The perfect rub for these ribs. Another amazing slow cooker recipe is our Slow Cooker Ham and Potatoes au Gratin with Mushroom Sauce and our Mississippi Pot Roast.

And making your own Homemade BBQ Sauce could not be easier, and the taste is authentic and just perfect for these ribs.
Once you try this sauce, you’ll never buy the bottled stuff again.
It’s that good, and so simple to make!
