Ingredients
4 pounds boneless or bone-in country style pork ribs (can use up to 6 pounds for bone-in ribs)
12 ounces of Coca-Cola (original, not diet)
1 bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce or use homemade
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Spray cooker with non-stick cooking spray and fill with ribs evenly, salt and pepper to taste, then pour coke over ribs.
Cook on low for 6–8 hours, or on high for 3 1/2 -4 hours (adjust cooking time according to how fast/slow your cooker cooks). Make sure ribs reach a safe internal temp of 145 degrees f.
When ready, gently transfer ribs to a sheet pan (cover with foil or parchment paper for easy clean-up). Slather ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce, then place them in the oven preheated to 400 degrees f. for about 10–15 minutes, until the barbecue sauce starts to bubble and caramelize. You can also broil the ribs to caramelize the barbecue sauce quicker (*don't use parchment paper under the broiler).
Tips
Boneless country-style ribs are best for little children.
Boneless ribs may fall apart and meat may fall off the bone for bone-in ribs when removing from the slow cooker - do not worry! Simply place the rib meat on the sheet pan, slather with barbecue sauce and place them in the oven. Same great taste!
Serve with your favorite potato (fries, mashed, baked, roasted, potato salad), veggies, baked beans, coleslaw, salad.
