Pork ribs are a true delight for any meat lover, especially when they’re so tender and flavorful that they practically fall off the bone. If you’ve tried various methods of cooking ribs, you know they often require a lot of attention—wrapping them in foil, keeping an eye on the grill, and continuously basting them to perfection. However, there’s a much simpler way to achieve that succulent, finger-licking goodness right at home: your trusty slow cooker! This method is nearly effortless but yields results that are just as impressive as the more labor-intensive techniques.
Using your slow cooker not only saves time but also infuses the ribs with flavors so rich, your only regret will be not making more. Here’s how you can let your slow cooker do all the hard work with just a few simple ingredients and steps. Plus, if you’re up for it, making your own barbecue sauce in the slow cooker could elevate this dish even further—just remember to start that sauce a bit earlier to develop the flavors fully.
