3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Baby Back Ribs Are Easy!

Print Recipe

An incredibly simple and foolproof recipe for tender, fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs using only three ingredients and a slow cooker.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 racks baby back ribs
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce (plus extra for glazing)
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ribs by removing the membrane from the back, rinsing under cold water, and patting dry with paper towels.
  2. Pour the apple cider vinegar into the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Cut the ribs into sections (halves or thirds) to fit comfortably in the cooker.
  4. Place the ribs in the slow cooker and coat thoroughly with barbecue sauce.
  5. Cover and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours (or High for 4 to 5 hours) until fork-tender.
  6. Carefully remove the ribs and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet.
  7. Optional: Brush with more sauce and broil in the oven for about 5 minutes until caramelized.
  8. Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Removing the membrane is crucial for tenderness and flavor absorption.
  • Low and slow (6-8 hours) is recommended over the high setting for the best texture.
  • Keep a close eye during the broiling stage to prevent the sugar in the BBQ sauce from burning.
