I got this recipe from Cathy Martin, and they are awesome. My husband loves them, they’re easy, and you can often find them “buy one, get one free” or on sale - I’ve found them at Albertsons and at Winn Dixie that way (which helps me not spend a fortune on them.)
Baby Back Ribs from Cathy Martin/Rinnie Hersman
4 lbs baby back ribs
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp paprika
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cumin
3/4 tsp pepper
3/4 tsp white pepper (I just used black pepper)
3/4 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp cayenne powder
1/4 tsp sugar (I skipped this)
Mix everything but the ribs together. Wash the ribs and cut off any really fatty parts and pat dry. Rub the spice mixture into the ribs - front and back, top and bottom. Stand up in a crockpot around like a crown with the meatier side out, nest together as needed. (If there is a lot of space in the middle, could put a pyrex container in the middle to keep them upright.) Cook on low for 6 hours (or so). Meat should fall off the bones. May serve with BBQ sauce if you want. Goes great with potato salad, sweet potatoes, or baked potatoes.
