Crockpot Ribs

Ingredients

• 1-2 slabs of ribs
• 1 can of Coke
• Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce
• Salt and Pepper to taste

First, use a non-stick cooking spray or place a slow cooker liner inside the crock pot. Next place the slabs of ribs in the crockpot. Add in the Coke. Set the crockpot on LOW.

After 8 hours, drain out the Coke. Keep the ribs in the crockpot and smother them with Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce. (Make sure all the ribs are covered.)

Once the ribs are coated in BBQ sauce, cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour. 

After an hour, take the ribs out to serve. Be gentle-- the ribs tend to fall of the bone easily.

Enjoy!
