Easy Slow Cooker Baby Back Ribs Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 pounds baby back ribs, trimmed
• salt and ground black pepper, to taste
• 0.5 cup water
• 0.5 onion, sliced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 (18 ounce) bottle barbeque sauce

Instructions

1. Prepare all of your ingredients.
2. Season the baby back ribs generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Pour 1/2 cup of water into the bottom of your slow cooker, then arrange the seasoned ribs inside. Sprinkle the chopped onion and minced garlic evenly over the ribs. Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low heat for 8 hours or on High heat for 4 hours, depending on your schedule.
4. As the ribs approach the end of their cooking time, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
5. Carefully transfer the cooked ribs from the slow cooker to a baking sheet lined with foil. Discard the cooked onion and garlic. Generously coat the ribs with your favorite barbeque sauce.
6. Bake the sauced ribs in the preheated oven until the barbecue sauce caramelizes beautifully and adheres to the meat, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy these delicious, tender slow cooker baby back ribs!
