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!

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.

Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the most popular type of ribs for crock pot cooking, as they are tender and flavorful. Spare ribs are also a good option, but they are a bit tougher and may require a longer cooking time.
- Brown the ribs before cooking: Browning the ribs in a skillet before adding them to the crock pot helps to develop their flavor and create a nice crust.
- Use a good quality barbecue sauce: The barbecue sauce is one of the key ingredients in this recipe, so it's important to use a sauce that you enjoy. There are many different types of barbecue sauces available, so be sure to experiment until you find one that you like.
- Cook the ribs on low heat: Cooking the ribs on low heat for a long period of time helps to tenderize them and make them fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them even more flavorful.

Crock pot ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.
