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.
