Baby Back Ribs

Next recipe to try (Thanks to Jen for giving me this!):

Here's the recipe:
3-3.5 Lbs pork country style ribs
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp liquid smoke (I didn't have this)
1/4 tsp garlic powder (I used fresh)
1/4 tsp bottled hot pepper sauce

1. Place ribs in a 3.5 - 4 qt slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine
ketchup, onion, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder,
liquid smoke, garlic powder, and hot pepper sauce. Pour over ribs in
cooker, turning ribs to coat.
2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 10 to 12 hours (I did this
for 9 hours) or on high-heat for 5-6 hours
3. Transfer ribs to a platter; cover to keep warm. Skim fat from
surface of sauce; pour sauce into a medium saucepan. Bring sauce to
boiling; recue heat slightly. Boil gently, uncovered, for 5 to 7
minutes or until thickened to desired consistency (should make about 1
cup). Pass sauce with ribs.

Update: Have made this in my slow cooker. Thumbs up! the liquid smoke is a definite must. I bought some at the Gourmet Warehouse for $6 and then bought two more bottles from this place called "Deals only" in Bellingham, Washington for 99cents each. I took some leftovers into work once and everyone was salivating over the smell. 9 out of 10.

  1. I find that using the low-heat setting (instead of high-heat) for 5-6 hours works better. If it cooks for too long, the cartilage disintegrates, and the meat falls off all of the bones so it no longer can be served as 'ribs'
