So Easy Ribs                                          Submitted by Barb Ellul

5 lb. baby back ribs
2 bottles barbecue sauce Regular size (any kind – I like to use 2 flavors in combination)

Cut ribs into pieces that will fit in slow cooker. Pour about ½ cup barbecue sauce into slow cooker. Layer the ribs into the cooker, alternating so that the cross each other (north-south and east-west). Pour sauce over each layer, about ¼ cup each layer. No –pre-cooking – if they’re frozen, just cook longer. Cover and cook on high for 3 ½ to 4 hours.

Suggestion: About 2 hours into cook time, use tongs to rearrange ribs so that the ones on top are now on the bottom.

These ribs are fall-off-the-bone delicious and so easy it feels like cheating!
