The slow cooker makes it easy to make these tender and tasty BBQ ribs for dinner in the summer.

Ingredients: 3 lbs pork baby back ribs. 1 cup BBQ sauce. 1/4 cup brown sugar. 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar. 1 teaspoon paprika. 1 teaspoon garlic powder. 1/2 teaspoon onion powder. Salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions: Mix together BBQ sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Cut the ribs into smaller sections to fit into the slow cooker. Coat the ribs with the sauce mixture, ensuring they are well covered. Place the ribs in the slow cooker, standing them up on the sides if necessary. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bone. Once cooked, remove the ribs from the slow cooker and place them on a baking sheet. Brush the ribs with additional BBQ sauce and broil in the oven for 5-10 minutes until caramelized. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.
