DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Liberally season ribs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Bake ribs for 15 minutes per side. They should be browned a bit on all sides.
- Mix all sauce ingredients in a medium bowl.
- Add ribs to a large six or seven quart slow cooker. You will probably have to chop them in half to get them to fit.
- Pour sauce over ribs and cook them on low heat for 8 hours or high heat for 6 hours. Rotate the ribs every few hours so they cook evenly.
- Remove ribs from slow cooker and return to a baking sheet.
- Pour cooking liquid into a medium saucepan. Use a spoon to scoop off any extra fat. You should be able to scoop off about 1/2 cup of fat but it's okay if you don't get it all.
- Bring sauce to a simmer and let cook until it thickens, about 15-20 minutes.
- Liberally coat ribs with reduced sauce. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F again. Once ribs are coated in sauce, return to oven and let caramelize for 10-15 minutes.
- Serve ribs with extra sauce and pasta salad on the side.
