Enjoy your delicious CrockPot Taco Spaghetti for a fun and flavorful meal!Prepare the Ribs:

1. • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

   • Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs for better flavor and tenderness. Pat the ribs dry with paper towels.

   • In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt.

   • Rub the spice mixture generously all over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.

2. Sear the Ribs:

   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a nice brown crust.

3. Bake the Ribs:

   • Place the seared ribs in a baking dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the ribs are tender and the meat pulls away from the bone easily.

4. Glaze with Barbecue Sauce:

   • In the last 30 minutes of cooking, remove the foil and brush the ribs generously with the Texas-style barbecue sauce. Return to the oven uncovered and bake for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize and create a sticky glaze.

5. Serve:

   • Once the ribs are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Cut into individual portions and serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.
