Calories 532kcal
Ingredients
- 3-5 pounds of beef back ribs
- Seasoning salt or salt and pepper
- 2 cups barbecue sauce divided plus more as needed
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- If your ribs came in a rack, slice them apart so you have individual ribs. Sprinkle each with your favorite seasoning salt or salt and pepper.
- Layer the ribs in your slow cooker and top with 1 1/2 cups of the BBQ sauce and 1 cup of water. Cook on low for 7-8 hours, high for 3-4. The ribs are ready for the next step when you can easily pull the meat apart with a fork.
- Transfer ribs to a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush them generously with the remaining 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce. Broil for 5-8 minutes, until sauce is caramelized and sticky.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
The cooking liquid left over in the slow cooker will contain a significant amount of fat that probably shouldn’t go down your drain. I pour it all into a 28-ounce can or quart-size mason jar, let the top solidify in the fridge, and then scrape the fat into the trash.
