Slow Cooker Country Style Pork Ribs

Few meals are as comforting as a plate of tender, juicy country-style pork ribs that have been slowly cooked until they practically fall apart. Unlike traditional pork ribs, country-style pork ribs are cut from the shoulder area of the pig, giving them a rich flavor and plenty of marbling. This makes them ideal for slow cooking, where low heat and time transform them into a melt-in-your-mouth dinner.

Whether you’re preparing a cozy family meal or looking for an easy recipe that requires minimal effort, these Slow Cooker Country Style Pork Ribs deliver incredible results every time.

Ingredients

• 3 to 4 pounds country-style pork ribs
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup barbecue sauce
• ½ cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Equipment Needed

• Slow cooker (6-quart recommended)
• Mixing bowl
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Tongs

Step 1: Prepare the Pork Ribs

Pat the country-style pork ribs dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture helps the seasonings stick better and improves the overall flavor.

In a small bowl, combine:

• Salt
• Black pepper
• Smoked paprika
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder

Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over all sides of the pork ribs.

Step 2: Layer the Slow Cooker

Place the sliced onions in the bottom of the slow cooker. The onions act as a flavorful base and help prevent the meat from sticking.

Arrange the seasoned pork ribs on top of the onions in a single layer if possible. If necessary, stack them slightly.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

In a mixing bowl, whisk together:

• Barbecue sauce
• Chicken broth
• Brown sugar
• Worcestershire sauce
• Minced garlic

Mix until smooth and well combined.

The sauce provides the perfect balance of sweetness, smokiness, and savory flavor while keeping the meat moist during cooking.
