This recipe is especially tasty – Louisiana style! I feel like you cannot go wrong with Cajun anything, let alone fall off the bone ribs. The dry rub is perfect. Take a look at the ingredients. You have everything you need to spice these ribs up! The barbecue sauce is another special treat for these ribs. I like to make an extra side of the sauce to dip the ribs into when I am eating them. You might say I am a bit of a fanatic when it comes to the sauce. I’m okay with admitting that!
Check out what our friends from The Magical Slow Cooker have to say about this:
“The ribs start with a homemade Cajun dry rub. It may seem like a lot of ingredients, but if you cook a lot you will probably have most of the seasonings in your pantry.”
A few ingredients never stopped me from making delicious ribs!
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!)
- ½ tsp. molasses
- ½ tsp. creole seasoning
- ¼ tsp. garlic powder
- ⅛ tsp. onion powder
- 6-quart or larger
Instructions
- Mix the dry rub ingredients in small bowl, and the barbecue sauce ingredients in a small bowl, set aside.
- Put the ribs on a large cutting board, flip them over so the curved side is up. Remove and discard the silver skin, I do this but getting my fingers under middle edge on one side and pulling up, most of the time I can get it off in one piece. Cut the ribs into 4 even portions. I do this because it fits nicely in the slow cooker.
- 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.
- Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
- Brush the remaining barbecue sauce on the ribs.
- Enjoy!
