Are you looking for a low maintenance rib recipe with fall-off the bone tenderness? Then this Slow Cooker Ribs Recipe is what you are looking for!
Sizzle and Crock Weekcontinues today with this super succulent slow cooker rib recipe for Sweet Saucy Ribs that I found while flipping throughGooseberry Patch’sSlow-Cookers, Casseroles & Skilletson mytablet.
I loved how easy the recipe was and added my own touch to it to make them perfect for our family.

Slow Cooker Ribs
The first step was to cut up the ribs. Truth be told, this was my first time working with spare ribs (we usually use baby back ribs… heck, who am I kidding, we usually just do this.) It can be a little intimidating to cut up a slab of ribs if you haven’t done it before. This video shows you how to trim them down.
Once you get them trimmed down you will just want to make a cut at each bone to give each rib a nice piece of meat on them.
Once I had them trimmed down, I needed to boil them before slow cooking them. This was made super easy using theProgrammable Insulated Slow Cookerthat Hamilton Beach sent me. It has a stove top safe insert that I could just pop out of the slow cooker, boil my ribs in and then drain and pop right back in.
Once my ribs were boiled a bit, I mixed up my sauce and cooked on low for 8 hours.
I then took the ribs out of the pot and placed them on a cookie sheet and brushed them with our favorite BBQ sauce.
We are HUGE Sweet Baby Ray fans and so I slathered those puppies with that sweet and saucy sauce and then popped them under my broiler for 3 minutes. Note: You will need to watch your broiler to make sure you don’t burn your ribs… now THAT would be a shame.
The result? Super tender ribs that just fall off the bone with a nice sweet sauce.

If I have already got country pork ribs in marinade in fridge, and do not want to boil before placing in Crock pot, how should I pre cook ribs if at all??
