Ingredients:
- 2 cups barbecue sauce
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 4 to 5 pounds baby back ribs
Instructions:
- Prepare the Sauce:
In a zip-top bag, combine barbecue sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper (if using). Seal the bag and knead it to mix the ingredients well. - Coat the Ribs:
Place the baby back ribs in the bag with the sauce. Seal the bag again and shake it to completely coat the ribs with the sauce. - Prepare the Crockpot:
Spray the inner part of the crockpot with non-stick cooking spray. - Cook the Ribs:
Place the ribs in the crockpot and pour half of the sauce from the bag over them, ensuring they are evenly covered. - Select Cooking Time:
Cook the ribs on high heat for 4 to 5 hours for fall-off-the-bone meat, or on low heat for 9 hours. For meat that is tender but still on the bone, cook on low heat for 7 hours. - Serve:
Serve the cooked ribs with additional sauce on the side for dipping.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality barbecue sauce for the best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper according to your spice preference.
- If you prefer, you can marinate the ribs in the sauce overnight in the refrigerator for even more flavor.
- Make sure to coat the ribs evenly with the sauce to ensure they cook evenly and are flavorful throughout.
- Serve the ribs with your favorite side dishes, such as coleslaw, cornbread, or roasted vegetables, for a complete meal.
