BBQ ribs are one of those things that when they're good, they're gooooooood. And these crockpot ribs are some of the best! They are simple, easy and oh so delicious. When you are cooking meats, the slower and longer you cook them, the juicier and more tender they become. The easiest way to make some fall-off-the-bone delicious BBQ ribs is in your crockpot! There are 2 key secrets in making these mouth watering BBQ ribs: 1. Make your own BBQ sauce! None of that store bought stuff. BBQ sauce is fairly simple to make and when you make it yourself it makes a HUGE difference in how the ribs come out and 2. After the ribs are done cooking in the crockpot, baste them with BBQ sauce and broil them in the oven! Don't leave off this step. It is the key to getting that delicious caramelization and crispy texture on the outside of the ribs.
They are pretty easy to make and turn out delicious. We prefer to pull out the bones and eat them with a fork and knife which is super easy because after cooking them for 8 hours, the meat just falls off. But for those of you boys out there who like to eat them "like a man" on the bone, cooking them in the crockpot, you can eat them both ways, the best of both worlds!
