If you’re craving rich, tender, fall-off-the-bone beef ribs but don’t want to spend hours hovering over the stove or grill, this recipe is for you. Using a slow cooker lets the meat cook low and slow, soaking up every bit of flavor from the homemade BBQ sauce. By the time it’s done, the ribs are incredibly juicy, tender, and coated in a deep, tangy glaze that tastes like pure comfort. Serve these with mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, coleslaw, or warm bread to soak up the sauce — you’re in for a treat!
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup vinegar
- 2 tablespoons prepared mustard
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 pounds beef back ribs
Directions
- Make the Sauce
In your slow cooker, combine the water, ketchup, tomato paste, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, and salt. Stir until everything is well mixed and the brown sugar has melted into the sauce. - Add the Ribs
Place the beef back ribs into the slow cooker, turning them so they’re fully coated in the sauce. - Slow Cook
Cover and cook on LOW for about 8 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat easily separates from the bone.
Serve hot and enjoy the sticky, savory, tender goodness! 😍🍖
These ribs taste even better the next day — if any are left!
