SLOW COOKER LOUISIANA RIBS {CAJUN-STYLE}

Hello! These Slow Cooker Louìsìana Rìbs were so good! The recìpe ìs adapted from Kelly at Wìldflour’s Cottage Kìtchen. Her rìb recìpe ìs made ìn the oven, I converted ìt to a slow cooker recìpe because I know that rìbs do well ìn the slow cooker too! I am partìcìpatìng ìn a blog hop where we all make a recìpe from each other’s blogs, but we don’t know who made who’s recìpe untìl today.

INGREDIENTS

1 rack pork baby back rìbs

½ cup water

For the dry rub

1 Tbsp. paprìka

2 tsp. salt

2 tsp. garlìc powder

1 tsp. pepper

¾ tsp. onìon powder

¾ tsp. drìed leaf oregano

¾ tsp. drìed leaf thyme

½ tsp cayenne pepper

½ tsp. creole seasonìng

¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

¼ cup packed brown sugar

For the barbecue sauce

1 cup barbecue sauce (use your favorìte!)

½ tsp. molasses

½ tsp. creole seasonìng

¼ tsp. garlìc powder

⅛ tsp. onìon powder

Slow Cooker Sìze:

INSTRUCTIONS

the dry rub ìngredìents ìn small bowl, and the barbecue sauce ìngredìents ìn a small bowl, set asìde.

Put the rìbs on a large cuttìng board, flìp them over so the curved sìde ìs up. Remove and dìscard the sìlver skìn, I do thìs but gettìng my fìngers under mìddle edge on one sìde and pullìng up, most of the tìme I can get ìt off ìn one pìece. Cut the rìbs ìnto 4 even portìons. I do thìs because ìt fìts nìcely ìn the slow cooker.

Usìng your hands rub the dry rub on the rìbs on both sìdes. Place the rìb pìeces ìnto the slow cooker that has been sprayed wìth non-stìck cookìng spray. Take half of the barbecue sauce and spread over the rìbs (beìng careful not to contamìnate the rest of the barbecue sauce wìth the raw meat, that sauce wìll be used later when the rìbs are cooked.) Add the ½ cup water around the rìbs.
