Slow Cooker Barbecue Ribs with a Special Ingredient.
Special ingredient? What is that? A pretty cool tip to tenderize the meat will make your BBQ ribs taste so good! Be patient; you’ll discover it in the video 🙂
We all love BBQ pork ribs, but we don’t always have the time to cook them in the smoker. Depending on the season (or if you live in a place where you can’t use a BBQ), your slow cooker will be an ideal alternative that will only take a few minutes to prepare.
Rub and massage the ribs well with the spice mixture and let them marinate with our special ingredient.
OK you can now see that”special ingredient” 🙂
It’s simply Coke…
Mix well all spices
Add the mix to the ribs. Rub and massage them until all the meat is covered evenly.
Drop your ribs in the crockpot and pour Coke or Dr. Pepper, or even Root Beer. Don’t pour directly on the meat, it would take all the seasoning off.
Just cover the ribs to give them a little room to soak.
Let the “magic” happen…
Here we are, ready to cook on low for 6 hours. An optional step is to add some brown sugar to tenderize them.
Don’t open the lid for at least one hour to 1 1/2 hours.
I’m ready to put them in the broiler with some BBQ sauce on them for 5 to 10 minutes. It will be delicious!
Not only do they smell good, but they are also really tasty!
