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 for Lazy Man's Ribs in a Slow Cooker
- Select the best ribs: Look for meaty spare ribs or baby back ribs with good marbling. Avoid ribs that are too thin or fatty.
- Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to ensure tender, fall-off-the-bone meat.
- Choose a flavorful rub: Combine spices and seasonings to create a rub that will enhance the ribs' natural flavor. Consider using a combination of paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, and brown sugar.
- Cook the ribs slowly: Place the ribs in a slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or until the meat is tender and easily falls off the bone.
- Add moisture: Add liquid to the slow cooker, such as water, broth, or apple juice, to prevent the ribs from drying out.
- Glaze the ribs: Brush the ribs with a glaze made from honey, brown sugar, and spices during the last 30 minutes of cooking to add a sweet and sticky coating.
