Slow Cooker Ribs - Many Versions

Pork ribs are one of my favorite things and I have not tried making them in the slow cooker.  I would love to try this method, so I was happy to find three versions and will post more if I find them.   We should always strive to find the best recipe and/or method to make our favorite foods.  More to come!

VERSION 1

"Slow cooker ribs are fork-tender and meaty. A quick, homemade spice mix adds a smokiness that replicates the flavor the pork would get if it were in fact cooked on a grill. A bed of sliced onions perfumes the ribs nicely with a subtle onion flavor, while also keeping them moist during the long cook. Finally, BBQ sauce adds a slight sweetness and a little heat thanks to strong black pepper flavors."  Comment from Southern Living

"You don’t need to know anything about cooking to make delicious spare ribs at home. Simply put all the ingredients in this recipe into a slow cooker, set the heat to low, and in 5 to 6 hours, dinner is served."  Comment from Taste of Home

Slow Cooker Barbecue Spareribs

"You don’t have to babysit a smoker all day to enjoy great ribs, thanks to this recipe. Here, meaty St. Louis-style ribs get a double layer of flavor from dry rub and barbecue sauce before being layered in a slow cooker and left to cook gently for three to six hours while you go about your life doing fun things."  Comment from Southern Living
