Ingredients
4 pounds St. Louis-style ribs, trimmed of excess fat
1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce (I use Louie Mueller’s Original)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon chipotle powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
Directions
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker. Cut the ribs into thirds or fourths, as needed. Place them in the slow cooker standing (or, more accurately, leaning) on their sides, not stacked, to allow moisture and fat to drain. Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 2 hours.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl stir the barbecue sauce together with the brown sugar, chipotle powder, smoked paprika and garlic.
Drain the liquids from the pot then layer the onion slices over the ribs. Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the ribs. Cook for 5 additional hours and serve moistened with some of the sauce.
Optional: Pour pot liquids into a saucepan or large skillet (the skillet will take less time) over high heat, bring to a boil and reduce for 15 minutes, or until thickened a bit. Serve over ribs.
