Slow Cooker Baby Back Ribs

post-title

These slow cooker ribs are the best — they turn out perfect every time! They cook in a crockpot until tender, then are covered with barbeque sauce and finished in the oven for fall-apart ribs. Perfect for during the week as the slow cooker does most of the work!

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds baby back ribs, trimmed
  • salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ onion, sliced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 (18 ounce) bottle barbeque sauce

Directions

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Season ribs with salt and pepper.
  3. Pour 1/2 cup water into the slow cooker, then add ribs. Scatter onion and garlic over top. Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours or High for 4 hours.
  4. When the ribs are almost finished, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  5. Transfer ribs from the slow cooker to a baking sheet; discard onion and garlic. Coat ribs with barbeque sauce.
  6. Bake ribs in the preheated oven until sauce caramelizes and sticks to meat, 10 to 15 minutes.
  7. Enjoy!
