BBQ Pork Ribs

Crock pot's are kings when it comes to getting the most delicious, tender, and moist meat. If my crock pot wasn't a pain to clean out, I would use it a lot more. Actually, come to think of it, it's not hard to clean at all. I just stuff it in the dishwasher and BOOM. It's clean. I think the real issue is that since crock pot meals are SO easy and require NO effort, I am lazy by the time that cleaning comes around. If the crock pot cooks itself, then shouldn't it clean itself and put itself away? Thought so. This recipe was delicious. Quite possibly the best BBQ ribs I have had. It would be in your best interest to make these asap. I am going to have to make them again too because Adam liked them so much, that I didn't get any leftovers. This recipe is from CivilizedCavemanCooking. Check it out.

Ingredients:

  • 1 rack of pork short ribs
  • 1/4 cup paprika
  • 1 Tbsp pepper
  • 1 Tbsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Batch of Beasty BBQ Sauce
Instructions:
  1. Combine all spices together in mixing bowl
  2. Cut your rack of ribs in half, or thirds, so that each section will fit in the crock pot
  3. Apply the spice rub generously to the ribs. I used the entire batch of spice rub. Tightly wrap the ribs in plastic wrap and place in fridge for at least 1 hour. I let mine sit for 1 day
  4. Put 1/8 cup water in crock pot. Place ribs, bone side down in crock pot, stacking your sections
  5. Set your crock pot on low for 8 hours
  6. Around the 7th or 8th hour, pour in BBQ sauce ensuring that all layers of ribs get coated. Reserve some for dipping
  7. Allow sauce to warm up in the crock pot, then enjoy!
*If you do not want to make your own BBQ sauce, buy your own - just be sure it has clean ingredients! I really like the brand Bone Suckin' Sauce. Squeaky clean.
