Easy Slow Cooker BBQ Country Style Ribs

Posted by Elaine Smith on

This is another fabulous Six Sisters Stuff recipe that I’ve had pinned and ready to try. The gloomy days we’ve had here in Western Washington this week seemed like the perfect time to give it a go, and I’m wasn’t disappointed. SUPER easy recipe, short prep time, and just a few ingredients are needed. …and they were delicious!!

I followed the recipe as written with the exception of the onion. The recipe calls for a diced onion. I simply sliced it and scattered the rings. Much simpler, and easier to pick out when serving ;). For the BBQ sauce, I chose Sweet Baby Rays Honey Chipotle, which gave the ribs just a slight kick.

A couple of tips about the pork: I found the country style ribs at the meat counter at my grocery store. They may have a small piece of bone still in them but it’s easy to cut out. To prep, I just cut into large chunks.

Don’t skimp on the cooking time! The ribs may show a good temp earlier than directed, but they won’t be moist and tender if you serve them too early. Mine were perfect after about 7 hours on low.

Happy Crocking!!

Easy Slow Cooker BBQ Country Style Ribs
(original recipe via Six Sisters Stuff)

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ pounds boneless country-style pork ribs
  • 2 Tablespoons liquid smoke
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 bottle BBQ sauce (18 ounce bottle)

Instructions

  • Spray slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place ribs on the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Pour a little liquid smoke over the ribs so it can soak into the meat. Don’t over do it.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Then sprinkle brown sugar and diced onion over the meat.
  • Top with your favorite sweet or tangy barbecue sauce.
  • Cover slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours.

Notes

To turn this into a freezer meal:

Add all ingredients to a gallon-sized freezer bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible and seal bag closed. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last 60-90 days. When ready to use, spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray and dump ingredients from bag into slow cooker. Place the lid on top and cook on LOW heat for 8-9 hours or until ribs are completely cooked through. Follow the rest of the instructions as written.
