Barbecued Ribs (Slow Cooker)

I have been making this recipe for many years. When I asked my kids what they would like for dinner, my daughter would request this recipe.  I was happy to make it since it was so easy.  Perfect for a weeknight dinner. This is still one of her favorite meals.

5 lbs boneless beef short ribs or pork spareribs (If using bone-in ribs, you may want to use 6-7 lbs)

1/2 cup ketchup

2 TBS brown sugar

1 TBS Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp hot sauce

2 TBS vinegar 

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp dried minced onion

Place ribs on a rack in a baking pan.  Brown at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes; turn and brown on the other side for 10-15 minutes.  Drain fat and place ribs in a slow cooker.  Combine remaining ingredients; pour over ribs.  Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until tender.

You can brown the meat and pour the sauce over the ribs and refrigerate overnight.  In the morning, add the meat and sauce to the slow cooker.

Serves 6
