Ingredients
- 2 lbs Country-style pork ribs
- 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
- 1 large Onion
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Slice the onion into rings and layer them on the bottom of the Crock Pot.
Step 2
Pat the country-style pork ribs dry with a paper towel and season generously on all sides with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the ribs for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. This step is optional but adds extra flavor.
Step 4
Place the seared ribs on top of the onions in the Crock Pot.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together barbecue sauce, apple cider vinegar, and brown sugar. Pour this mixture over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 6
Cover the Crock Pot with the lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the ribs are tender and easily pull apart with a fork.
Step 7
Once cooked, carefully remove the ribs from the Crock Pot and set them on a serving platter.
Step 8
If desired, transfer the leftover sauce and onions from the Crock Pot to a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes to thicken. Serve this sauce alongside the ribs or drizzle it over them.
Step 9
Serve the ribs warm with your choice of sides, such as coleslaw, mashed potatoes, or cornbread.
