Tongs
Ingredients
- 4 lbs PORK RIBS
- 1.5 cups BBQ SAUCE
- 1 large YELLOW ONION
- 12 oz DR PEPPER
- 4 cloves GARLIC
- 1 tsp SALT
- 1 tsp BLACK PEPPER
Instructions
Step 1:
-
Slice your yellow onions into thick rings. Place them at the bottom of the pot. They act as a rack for meat.
Step 2:
-
Season the pork ribs with salt and pepper. Rub the spices into the meat well. This builds a great flavor base.
Step 3:
-
Place the ribs inside the slow cooker carefully. Do not let them overlap too much. Tuck them in so they fit snugly.
Step 4:
-
Pour the Dr Pepper over the seasoned ribs. The liquid should reach the bottom easily. This creates steam for the cooking process.
Step 5:
-
Add the smashed garlic cloves to the pot. Spread them around the meat for even taste. They will melt into the sauce later.
Step 6:
-
Cover the ribs with half of the sauce. Use a spoon to spread it evenly. This starts the glazing process early on.
Step 7:
-
Turn the slow cooker to the low setting. Cook the ribs for seven to eight hours. Do not open the lid while cooking.
Step 8:
-
Remove the ribs once they are very soft. Brush them with the rest of the sauce. You can broil them for extra crunch.
Notes
Use baby back ribs for the most tender meat.
Always cook on low heat for the best texture.
Do not skip the onion layer at the bottom.
Check the meat with a fork after seven hours.
Apply extra sauce right before you serve the dish.
You can use root beer instead of Dr Pepper.
Make sure to trim the silver skin from ribs.
Let the meat rest for five minutes before cutting.
