Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ribs

    Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and pat them dry with paper towels.

    Make the Rub

    In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Apply the Rub

    Rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.

  4. 4

    Slow Cook the Ribs

    Place the ribs in a slow cooker. Add water and apple cider vinegar. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until tender.

  5. 5

    Add BBQ Sauce

    In the last 30 minutes of cooking, smother the ribs in BBQ sauce and let them absorb the flavor.

  6. 6
