If grilling or BBQing isn’t possible for your celebration this 4th of July, we have a delicious and easy alternative for making those ribs we all love to eat! These are so simple and will travel well too in your slow cooker if you are taking them to a 4th of July celebration.
Bon appetit!
Slow Cooker Ribs*
3 lbs. pork ribs (we like St. Louis style or baby back ribs)
Rub made from 1 tablespoon each: salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder
5 cloves of minced garlic
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup honey
Rub the ribs on all sides with rub and place in slow cooker. Mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey and garlic and add to slow cooker. Cook ribs on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. Remove ribs and slice between bones. Pour additional sauce from slow cooker over ribs and serve.
* For traditional more smoky BBQ style ribs, replace soy sauce with apple juice or cider, and cover the ribs in hickory BBQ sauce after removing ribs from slow cooker.
