Ingredients
- 3 pounds Country style pork ribs
- 1 large Onion
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and slice the large onion into thin rings. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 2
Rub the pork ribs with paprika, ground black pepper, and salt on all sides.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. This step helps lock in the flavor.
Step 4
Place a layer of sliced onions on the bottom of the Crock Pot. Add the minced garlic on top of the onions.
Step 5
Transfer the seared ribs to the Crock Pot, arranging them evenly on top of the onion and garlic layer.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Pour the mixture over the ribs, ensuring all pieces are coated.
Step 7
Cover the Crock Pot with its lid and set it to low heat. Cook for 6 hours, or until the ribs are fork-tender and fully cooked.
Step 8
Once done, carefully remove the ribs from the Crock Pot using tongs, as they will be very tender.
Step 9
Optional: Serve the ribs with extra sauce from the Crock Pot drizzled on top, alongside your favorite sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread.
