Ingredients

• 3 pounds Pork baby back ribs
• 1 tablespoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 cup Ketchup
• 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Liquid smoke (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the ribs by removing the silver skin from the back. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Mix the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl to create a rub.

Step 3

Rub the spice mix evenly on both sides of the ribs.

Step 4

Cut the ribs into 3-4 bone sections so they can fit into your crock pot more easily.

Step 5

Place the ribs into the crock pot. Stand them up vertically if space is tight, with the meaty side facing outward.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke (if using), and yellow mustard to create the BBQ sauce.

Step 7

Pour about half of the BBQ sauce evenly over the ribs, reserving the rest for later.

Step 8

Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook the ribs on low heat for 8 hours (or on high heat for 4 hours).

Step 9

Once cooked, carefully remove the ribs from the crock pot (they will be very tender) and place them on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.

Step 10

Brush the reserved BBQ sauce generously over the ribs.

Step 11

Optional: Place the ribs under a broiler set to high for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce caramelizes and forms a sticky glaze.

Step 12

Serve the ribs warm with any remaining BBQ sauce on the side. Enjoy!
