These slow cooker ribs are fall of the bone tender and so delicious. No one would ever guess that they took you 5 minutes to prep!
I start to get so excited around this time of year – school is almost out, the weather is stunning, and everyone is putting final touches on their summer plans! Of course, with summer, comes BBQing and all of the delicious food. If you’re short on time or don’t own a barbecue (or simply want to keep things as easy as possible), these slow cooker ribs won’t disappoint! The slow cooker transforms tough ribs into melt-in-your-mouth dinner with minimal effort.
I’ve included the recipe for my BBQ sauce below, but feel free to swap homemade BBQ sauce out for a Paleo-friendly brand. A couple of my favorites are Noble Made and Primal Kitchen.
INGREDIENTS
3 to 4 lbs. baby back ribs
For the BBQ sauce:
8 ounces tomato paste, preferably in a jar
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons coconut aminos
INSTRUCTIONS
1) If making the homemade BBQ sauce, combine all ingredients together and mix well.
2) Cut the ribs into 3 or 4 segments.
2) Place them in the bottom of the slow cooker.
3) Pour the BBQ sauce over the ribs.
4) Cook on low for 6 hours.
