Ingredients

  • 4-5 pounds Ribs of your choice
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Creole Seasoning I use Zatarain Creole Seasoning
  • 1 bottle BBQ Sauce Your favorite flavor and brand

Instructions

  • To make the Spice Rub: Stir together all spices and set aside.
  • Rub the Spice Rub evenly over the meat.
  • Use about 1/2 bottle of BBQ sauce to cover the top of the ribs and spices. Rub gently to work the sauce into the spices.
  • Spray your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Transfer the ribs to your slow cooker. Stand them up-if your slow cooker is large enough.
  • Cover and cook on low for about 8 hours or High for about 5 hours OR until ribs are fall apart tender.
  • After the ribs have finished cooking in the slow cooker, transfer them to a foil lined baking sheet. They will fall apart!! Cover the ribs with the rest of the BBQ sauce.
  • Turn on the broiler in your oven. I set my oven to Broil 400 degrees. Place pan in the oven and broil for about 10-15 minutes OR until the sauce has set on the ribs and caramelized. Watch ribs the whole time they are in the oven. They will burn if your are not careful!!!
  • Remove the pan from the oven. ENJOY!!!
