The Best easy crock pot ribs recipe
I love this easy crock pot ribs recipe because it makes dinner so simple. You just throw everything in the slow cooker and let it do the work. My kids go crazy for these ribs because they are so tender and the sauce is sweet and tangy. This recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or for feeding a crowd at a barbecue. The slow cooking process makes the meat very tender and it helps keep the ribs moist. Plus using a crock pot means you don’t have to stand over a hot grill. It is a healthier way to cook ribs because the fat renders off and you can control the sugar in the sauce. My family asks for these ribs all the time and I am happy to make them because they are so easy.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Crock Pot Ribs
1. Do I need to remove the membrane from the ribs?
Yes, removing the membrane helps the seasoning and sauce penetrate the meat better and makes the ribs more tender. It is easy to do. Just slide a knife under the membrane at one end and pull it off.
2. Can I use pork spare ribs instead of baby back ribs?
Yes, you can use spare ribs. They are a bit larger and have more fat, so they will still be very tender. You may need to cook them for an extra hour on low.
3. Can I make this recipe in an Instant Pot?
Yes, you can. Cook the ribs on high pressure for 25 minutes with a cup of liquid, then use the saute function to thicken the sauce.
4. How do I store leftover ribs?
Store leftover ribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can reheat them in the microwave or in a 300 degree oven until warmed through.
5. Can I freeze the cooked ribs?
Yes, these ribs freeze well. Let them cool completely, then wrap them tightly in foil and place them in a freezer bag. They will keep for up to 3 months.
