Ingredients

  • 4 pounds Baby Back Ribs
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Pepper
  • 2-3 cups BBQ Sauce divided

Instructions

  • To prepare the ribs, first remove the membrane. Pat dry with a paper towel, then cut the ribs in half.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the dry rub on the baby back ribs coating all sides, then place half of the ribs in the bottom of a slow cooker.
  • Add about ½ cup of BBQ sauce, spreading with a spoon to cover, then add the remaining ribs and another ½ cup of BBQ sauce to cover.
  • Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
  • When the Baby Back Ribs have almost finished cooking, preheat an oven to 425 degrees.
  • Place the ribs onto a baking sheet and slather the rest of the BBQ sauce over the top. Bake for 8-10 more minutes or until the BBQ sauce is caramelized and the ribs are crispy on the edges.
  • Remove from the oven and serve with extra BBQ sauce. Enjoy!
