I was inspired to make this Slow Cooker BBQ Ribs recipe because of my love of ribs. You may not believe it, but NYC has some amazing BBQ places. I had my 30th bday at Hill Country BBQ, which has Texas-style BBQ. They have long wooden benches and tables, scales for you to weigh the meat, and tasty drinks in Mason jars. Tom does not like to eat with his hands but this is the one place he will make an exception.
When I was testing this recipe, I was amazed that it required only simple techniques and a couple of ingredients. The meat falls off the bone, it’s smoky and addictive, and the whole thing is made in one pot. It requires no searing or grilling, and it turns out great every time.
Three Easy Tips For Perfect Slow Cooker Ribs:
1. Smoked paprika to give the smoky flavor. Be careful when recipes call for liquid smoke; it is very potent and easy to use too much.
2. Have the ribs stand up, leaning on the sides of the slow-cooker. This allows the ribs to baste and cook in BBQ sauce, and the sauce that falls to the bottom helps it steam.
3. Pineapple to tenderize the pork. This will make the pork juicy and fall of the bone amazing.
