Steps:
- Whisk the tomato paste, brown sugar, vinegar, chili powder, mustard, garlic, paprika, Worcestershire, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker until smooth. Cut each rack of ribs in half and add to the slow cooker. Use your hands to rub the sauce on to the ribs. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat until tender, about 4 hours.
- Gently transfer the ribs to a baking sheet and cool for at least 20 minutes; this will help maintain the shape of the ribs as they grill. Whisk the sauce at the bottom of the slow cooker until smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup of the sauce to brush on to the ribs and save any remaining sauce to serve on the side (it will thicken as it cools).
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates. Grill the ribs, top-side down, until lightly charred in parts, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip, brush the top side of the ribs with the reserved barbecue sauce and grill until the underside of the ribs are lightly charred in parts, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a platter and serve immediately with the extra barbecue sauce on the side.

SLOW COOKER BABY BACK RIBS
These are the best I've had, short of the actual grilling method of course! This is a very simple recipe that I came up with a few years ago. It's not rocket science, just ribs cooked in the slow cooker and finished in the oven. This is what I do when I want ribs during the week and have to work all day. I'm eating them within a half-hour of getting home, and they turn out perfect every time!

Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the most popular choice for crock pot ribs, but you can also use spare ribs or country-style ribs. Baby back ribs are more tender and have less fat, while spare ribs are more flavorful and have more meat. Country-style ribs are a good option if you're looking for a more budget-friendly option.
- Trim the ribs: Remove any excess fat or silver skin from the ribs. This will help the ribs cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
- Season the ribs: There are many different ways to season ribs. You can use a simple rub made with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, or you can use a more complex rub that includes brown sugar, paprika, and cumin. You can also marinate the ribs overnight in a mixture of your favorite spices and herbs.
- Cook the ribs on low: The key to tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs is to cook them on low heat for a long time. This will allow the collagen in the ribs to break down and the meat to become tender. Cook the ribs for at least 6 hours, or until they are fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Add liquid to the crock pot: Adding liquid to the crock pot will help to keep the ribs moist and prevent them from drying out. You can use water, broth, or even beer. If you're using beer, choose a dark beer that has a lot of flavor.
- Cover the crock pot: Cover the crock pot while the ribs are cooking. This will help to keep the heat and moisture in and prevent the ribs from drying out.
Conclusion:
Cooking ribs in a crock pot is a great way to achieve tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs without a lot of effort. By following these tips, you can make delicious crock pot ribs that your family and friends will love.
