Slow Cooker Barbecue Ribs



This is an accumulation of several recipes, and the ingredients that we used when we made them.  The only thing I would probably change is the chili seasoning.  I used 1 ½ tsp. of chili seasoning because I had an open pack, but I would use chili powder next time, and probably between 2 tsp. to a tablespoon to start with.  They were really good & tender!!

3 – 4 pounds beef or pork ribs (or roast if you prefer)
½ tsp. garlic salt
½ tsp. pepper
1 cup ketchup
¼ cup brown sugar
½ cup honey
¼ cup spicy brown mustard
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
½ Tbsp. liquid smoke
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 ½ tsp. chili seasoning

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Season ribs with salt & pepper.   Place in a shallow baking pan.  Brown in the oven 15 minutes.  Turn over, and brown another 15 minutes; drain fat.  In a medium bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients.  Place ribs in the slow cooker.  Pour sauce over ribs, and turn to coat.  Cover and cook on low 6 – 8 hours, or until ribs are tender.
