The magical slow cooker

Slow Cooker Dr. Pepper Ribs

Flavorful, fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs are what you’ll get with these slow cooker Dr. Pepper ribs. No dry rub is necessary, and prep time doesn’t get any easier than this.

Let’s get started!

Ingredients

– 4 lbs. rack baby back    pork ribs – 1/4 tsp. pepper – 1/2 tsp. garlic powder – 1 tsp. hickory liquid    smoke – 1 cup barbecue sauce  – 12 oz. can Dr. Pepper

STEP 1

The hardest (and grossest) thing about this recipe is removing the sinew from the back of the ribs.

STEP 2

Place the ribs into the crock pot. Sprinkle over the garlic powder and black pepper. Add the liquid smoke and barbecue sauce over the ribs.

STEP 3

Pour over the Dr. Pepper.

STEP 4

Cook ribs on LOW for 8 hours, do not open the lid while these cook. They will turn out moist and tender if you leave them be.

STEP 5

Serve with additional barbecue sauce if desired
