Break out your slow cooker for these easy, fall-apart, baby back ribs! Made with a homemade rub, sliced onions, and barbecue sauce, these are seriously finger-lickin’ good!
Barbecue Rub (makes a TON; I store and use the leftover rub in other recipes):
1cupsugar
1/2cuppaprika
2Tablespoonscoarsely ground black pepper
2Tablespoonslemon pepper
2Tablespoonskosher salt
2Tablespoonschili powder
2Tablespoonsgarlic powder
2Tablespoonsonion powder
1Tablespoonscayenne pepper
Ribs:
3-5poundsof baby back ribs
1/2large onion,sliced
2-3cupsyour favorite barbecue sauce
Instructions
Combine rub ingredients and mix well. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for later use.
Liberally sprinkle all sides of the ribs with the rub and push it into the meat. Place ribs in the crockpot, standing up, with the meaty side against the wall of the crockpot. Place sliced onions in the open center of the crockpot. Pour barbecue sauce over both sides of the ribs.
Cook ribs for 4 hours on high heat, or for 6-7 hours on low. Slice ribs and serve with onions and sauce from crockpot. Enjoy!
