Description
Crock Pot Country Style Pork Ribs are tender, slow-cooked pork ribs simmered in BBQ sauce, brown sugar, onions, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and warm spices like chili, garlic, and mustard powder for rich, savory comfort flavor dish
Ingredients
3 pounds country-style pork ribs bone-in or boneless
1 large yellow onion thinly sliced
¼ cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon Kosher salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon mustard powder
1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoon onion powder
1 cup BBQ sauce, preferably thick and sweet
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Pat the ribs dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and spices. Rub the seasoning mixture all over the ribs.
Place sliced onions in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Lay the ribs over the onions in a single layer.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour half of the sauce mixture evenly over the ribs. Take care not to cross contaminate the sauce. Set aside remaining sauce for future use.
Cover and cook on low for 5–8 hours or on high for 3–4 ½ hours, until ribs are fork-tender and easily pull apart.
Optional: Preheat your oven broiler. Transfer cooked ribs to a foil-lined baking sheet, and brush with extra BBQ sauce. Broil for 3–5 minutes, or until caramelized and bubbly. Do not take your eyes off of the oven; watch closely so nothing burns.
To serve, spoon onions and pan juices over ribs. Serve with extra BBQ sauce on the side, if desired.
