Ribs are one of Denton’s favorite things in the world to eat.  But, he will almost never fire up our smoker that lives on the deck, because he doesn’t want to tend to it like it’s a newborn baby kitten without a mama.  So I needed to come up with a way to make ribs that didn’t keep me tied to the kitchen all day.  Enter my crock pot.  This is so, so easy!  Here’s how I do it.

Buy whatever ribs strike your fancy.  These were on sale for $7.22 for the whole rack – yay for the clearance section of the supermarket!

If your ribs aren’t already seasoned like these were, see my notes in the printable recipe.

Slap the lid on your pot, set it to low and cook for 6 to 8 hours.  It’s actually better if you have a couple of racks of ribs in the crock pot.  They will help to hold one another up.  But, one rack is just as delicious on their own!

When they come out of the crock-pot, we like to slather on our favorite BBQ sauce – Sweet Baby Rays – and stick them under the broiler for a couple of minutes.  It gives them a great grilled taste without the effort! 

Eat them with your favorite sides, or eat them by themselves.  They are amazing!
