One of my favorite ways to slow cook meat is by using a combination of bottled barbecue sauce, fresh lemon, fresh onion, and a bottle or can of Coca Cola. Yep, coke is my secret ingredient! Each ingredient plays a key role in tenderizing and infusing the meat with flavor and the blend of the four together is finger-licking good. Of course, being able to toss and go makes this an even better recipe. Throw it in before you head out for the day and have a barbecue feast waiting when you come home! But if you wanted to make them in the oven, here is my recipe for oven-baked baby back ribs. Super easy and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. What more could you want, right?

How to Make Crock Pot Beef RibsPlace the ribs in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker. Pour the barbecue sauce over (reserve about 1/2 cup). Pour the coke over. Toss in the lemon and onion. (As long as your ribs will easily fit in this slow cooker, the number of ingredients are the same). Cook this on low for 7-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. I prefer to go on the longer end of cooking time so that the meat is extra tender. So for me, that would be low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. Serve with reserved bbq sauce for dipping or topping. Yum! There is so much flavor in this fall-apart tender beef! Enjoy! I like to serve these with my perfect roasted vegetables to keep the meal low fuss and delicious. Storage

Parents have no greater responsibility in this world than the bringing up of their children in the right way, and they will have no greater satisfaction as the years’ pass than to see those children grow in integrity and honesty and make something of their lives. How long should ribs be in the crock pot?How long to cook ribs in a crock pot? With the slow cooker set to low, give the slow cooker ribs about 5-6 hours to fully cook. They will come out super juicy and tender, ready to eat! You can also cook on high for 3-4 hours, but I recommend using the low setting if you have the time.
How do you know when ribs are done in crock pot?Place onion, sliced garlic, water and ribs in a slow cooker. Cook ribs on high 4 hours or low 8 hours or until fork tender.
Do you need liquid in a slow cooker for ribs?Don't worry that the ribs go into the slow cooker without liquid; the heat is gentle enough that the ribs do not burn, and the meat releases liquid as it cooks, so it braises in its own spiced juices.
How long do uncooked ribs take to cook?If wrapped in foil, the ribs can go for up to 3 hours at 300°F degrees, or crank the oven up to 400 degrees for a briefer baking time—1.5 to 2 hours. Great big beef dino ribs need even longer in the oven and it's best to keep them covered so they don't dry out.
