Introduction
These crockpot ribs are slow-cooked to perfection, ensuring they are incredibly tender and fall-off-the-bone. Generously seasoned with a savory dry rub and glazed in barbecue sauce, they are finished under the broiler to achieve a caramelized, restaurant-quality glaze.
Step 1
In a small bowl, stir together the smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and ground mustard to create the dry rub.
Step 2
Turn the ribs over to the bone side. Slide your fingers under the tough membrane to loosen it, then use a paper towel to grip and peel the membrane completely off.
Step 3
Sprinkle the dry rub generously over both sides of the ribs and rub it thoroughly into the meat.
Step 4
Place a slow cooker liner inside your crockpot, then place the first half rack of seasoned ribs inside.
Step 5
Pour about 1.5 cups of barbecue sauce over the first layer of ribs, place the second half rack on top, and coat it with more sauce, reserving about 1/2 cup of sauce for later.

Important Notes
Peeling off the membrane on the back of the ribs is crucial as it prevents them from being tough and chewy.
Cooking low and slow for 8 hours is highly recommended over the high setting to ensure the meat becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender.
Using a slow cooker liner is optional but makes the clean-up process incredibly easy.
Do not skip the final broiling step, as it creates the essential caramelized exterior characteristic of great ribs.
