Ingredients:

1 rack pork baby back ribs

½ cup water

1 tbsp. paprika

2 tsp. salt

2 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. pepper

¾ tsp. onion powder

¾ tsp. dried leaf oregano

¾ tsp. dried leaf thyme

½ tsp cayenne pepper

½ tsp. creole seasoning

¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

¼ cup packed brown sugar

1 cup barbecue sauce (use your favorite!) (bbq sauce)

½ tsp. molasses (bbq sauce)

½ tsp. creole seasoning (bbq sauce)

¼ tsp. garlic powder (bbq sauce)

⅛ tsp. onion powder (bbq sauce)

Directions:

1. Mix the dry rub ingredients in small bowl, and the barbecue sauce ingredients in a small bowl, set aside.

2. Put the ribs on a large cutting board, flip them over so the curved side is up. Remove and discard the silver skin. Cut the ribs into 4 even portions.

3. Using your hands rub the dry rub on the ribs on both sides. Place the rib pieces into the Slow cooker that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Take half of the barbecue sauce and spread over the ribs (being careful not to contaminate the rest of the barbecue sauce with the raw meat, that sauce will be used later when the ribs are cooked.) Add the ½ cup water around the ribs.

4. Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time. Brush the remaining barbecue sauce on the ribs.

Bon Appetit!
