Crock Pot Boneless Pork Ribs
Ingredients
- 4 lbs boneless pork ribs, trimmed
- 2 tbsp dark brown sugar
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1/2 tsp crushed red peppers
- 1 cup barbeque sauce, divided
- 1 large white onion, sliced
Instructions
- Let the ribs come up to room temperature.
- Spray the Crock Pot with cooking spray or put in a cooking liner. Layer the onion slices over the bottom of the pot and add a few tablespoons of the barbecue sauce.
- Mix the spices and brown sugar together. Blend it with about 1/4th of the barbecue sauce, then coat all of the pork ribs. Place the ribs in the slow cooker, spacing them slightly apart. Add in about ½ cup of water, or enough to cover the bottom.
- Cook the ribs on Low for 6 to 8 hours or on High for 3 to 4 hours. Test the meat after half of the time and remove the ribs when they reach 170 degrees F.
- Warm up the remaining barbecue sauce and pour it over the ribs, then serve.
Notes
If you want more of a grill-style glaze on the ribs, consider placing the cooked ribs in a cast iron skillet. Brush them with the barbecue sauce and place them under your oven broiler for a few minutes.
