Slow Cooker Ribs

Here's a fantastic no-fuss slow cooker recipe for pork ribs. After hours of gentle, slow cooking, baby back ribs turn incredibly tender and flavorful. This recipe features a homemade barbecue sauce made with brown sugar, cider vinegar, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, and chili powder. It's sweet, tangy, savory, and just a hint of spicy. Next comes the ribs themselves, seasoned generously with salt and pepper. Cook the pork ribs with the barbecue sauce for a long 8-hour simmer or a quick 4-hour burst. Either way, the result is the same: tender, succulent ribs that practically fall off the bone, infused with the rich flavors of the barbecue sauce.
