Best Ribs I've Made. Used a 5 LB rack of Pork Spare Ribs and doubled the recipe. I did add 1 TBLS of Liquid Smoke and 3 TSP's of Stubbs BBQ Rub. Cooked all day and Meat was falling off the bone.

Yummy sauce for my pork ribs. I substituted 8 oz. tomato sauce for the ketchup and used brown sugar. Delicious and this will be my go-to rib recipe. Thanks!

Loved the tang in the sauce--not so sweet as many BBQ sauces. My ribs happened to be really meaty and fatty so browning them first helped get some of the fat out. I also moved the ribs occasionally in the crock pot to make sure they were all equally "sauced". Thanks, Mary.

Fantastic, the whole family enjoys this. I like how little time it takes to prepare.
