Begin by slicing the onion into thin rings. This allows it to cook down and meld seamlessly with the other flavors.
Arrange the country style boneless pork ribs in the bottom of your slow cooker, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Layering the Flavors:
Scatter the onion rings over the pork ribs. The onion will add sweetness and a slight tang as it cooks.
Pour the entire bottle of Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce over the ribs. Ensure the sauce covers all the ribs for even flavor distribution.
Seasoning and Sweetness:
Sprinkle a generous amount of garlic powder and freshly ground black pepper over the ribs. These seasonings will infuse the meat as it cooks.
Finally, pour the 20 oz bottle of Dr Pepper over everything. This will not only add a unique sweetness but also help to tenderize the meat.
Slow Cooking:
Set your slow cooker to high and cook for 6 hours. This slow and steady cooking method will ensure the ribs become fall-apart tender.
Serving:
Once the ribs are done, carefully remove them from the slow cooker. They will be incredibly tender, so handle them gently.
Serve the ribs hot, paired with buttery corn on the cob and creamy mashed baby red potatoes for a complete, satisfying meal.
Valuable Tips for a Seamless Cooking Experience
Preparation is Key: Slice the onion and arrange your ingredients the night before to save time in the morning.
Check for Doneness: While 6 hours is a good benchmark, slow cooker times can vary. Check the ribs around the 5-hour mark to ensure they don’t overcook.
Extra Sauce: If you love your ribs extra saucy, keep an additional bottle of BBQ sauce on hand to drizzle over the ribs just before serving.
