Easy Fall-Off-The-Bone Slow Cooker BBQ Ribs

This is a very special recipe… it’s not one you will find anywhere online. There a ton of ways to prepare slow-cooked ribs — on a grill, in an oven, in a slow cooker, etc. This recipe combines your slow cooker and your oven to result in a fall-off-the-bone, slap-your-mama texture, but a sticky sweet exterior that I personally love (and is usually achievable on the grill).

Well, it’s winter time, so I had no interest in heading outside last night to finish these on the grill. The secret to these ribs is a super flavorful liquid mixture to completely cover the meat in the slow cooker and then finishing them off for a few minutes in the broiler with the sauce. I purchased the fresh baby back ribs from the Amish market. And the best thing about this recipe is that it takes under 10 minutes to prep!

This ribs will literally fall apart...

I think 8 hours in the slow cooker is just too long and you won't be able to keep any meat on the bones.

Sometimes I make my own sauce, but I didn’t this time. I just used my favorite store-bought brand, Sweet Baby Ray’s Honey BBQ sauce.

Even though I made these in the evening, BBQ ribs are perfect for both summer and winter nights. I would pair them with something lush like a glass of Cabernet or Merlot. For sides, my go-tos for ribs are mashed potatoes or mac & cheese and a slow cooked leafy green like collards or spinach.

This is the Kirkland Signature Organic No Salt Seasoning I use to flavor the liquid mixture the ribs slow cook in.

Here are the uncooked ribs in the liquid mixture just before I close the slow cooker

I hope you love these ribs as much as my family does! If you make it, please tag me so I can see!
