How To Make slow cooker barbecue ribs

  • Step 1
    Cut ribs into large pieces to fit better into Crockpot.
  • Step 2
    Place the ribs in a large Tupperware container 11x6. Cover the ribs with the whole bottle of Zesty Italian dressing. Cover and marinate overnight.
  • Step 3
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Step 4
    Take marinated ribs and put in a shallow baking pan. Brown in oven 15 minutes. Turn over and brown another 15 minutes. Drain fat.
  • Step 5
    In a medium bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce and salt and pepper. Place ribs in slow cooker. Pour sauce over ribs and turn to coat.
  • Step 6
    Cover and cook on Low 6 to 8 hours, or until ribs are tender.
  • Step 7
    Before serving the ribs, I put them on a foil-lined baking sheet, spoon the sauce on them and bake them at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes to caramelize the sauce onto the ribs.
