Crock Pot Baby Back Ribs Paula Deen Food

CROCK POT BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Peel the membrane off the back of the ribs. I find this goes better if I use a butter knife and start at the narrow end. Loosen that end and slowly pull it off as you work to be sure you get the whole width. Also, trim any chunks of fat on the ends and look for bone chips on the end of the ribs.
• If you want to use liquid smoke, rub a small amount on the ribs before the dry rub. Use a commercial rub or make your own. Apply a good coat of the rub.
• Cut in half and place in a large crock pot. Position the ribs in the crock pot to keep as much of the ribs elevated as possible. Use rolled-up foil if you need to brace or elevate the ribs.
• Cook on low for 7-8 hours. Do not remove the top to check the ribs as they cook. You are creating a mini oven. So, don't let the heat out. The ribs need to be "fork-tender" and reach a minimum of 185° but over 195°-205°.
• Remove the ribs. At this point, you could refrigerate for later use. Or place on pan and brush with BBQ sauce of your choice.
• Place under a broiler until you get the desired browning - about 5 minutes for me with a high broiler and the rack at 7 inches. Or you may also brown on your grill.

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

• Bake in preheated oven until the sauce caramelizes and sticks to the meat, 10 to 15 minutes.

SLOW-COOKER BARBECUED BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix all sauce ingredients; set aside.
• Spray 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Place pork in slow cooker. Spoon about 1 1/2 cups sauce evenly over sections. Reserve remaining sauce; refrigerate.
• Cover; cook on Low heat setting 6 to 7 hours (or on High heat setting 3 hours to 3 hours 30 minutes) or until almost tender.
• Remove pork from slow cooker; drain and discard cooking liquid. Return pork to slow cooker; spoon reserved sauce evenly over each section. If cooking on High heat setting, reduce to Low. Cover; cook 1 hour longer.

BABY BACK RIBS (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from ribs. Combine dry ingredients and rub over the surface of the ribs. Place ribs in slow cooker or Crock-Pot standing on their edge with the meaty side out. Cook for about 8 hours. Remove ribs from slow cooker and brush with barbecue sauce.
• My Note: THE ONLY THING I DID DIFFERENTLY WAS THAT I TURNED OFF THE SLOW COOKER AND I REMOVED THE RIBS. I PLACED THEM ONTO A FLAT TRAY LINED WITH FOIL, WITH MINIMAL JUICE FROM THE SLOW COOKER. I PRE-HEATED THE OVEN TO 380 AND I BRUSHED THE RIBS WITH SWEET RAYS BBQ SAUCE ( WE LOVE THIS BBQ SAUCE) AND WE BAKED THEM FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO FIRM THEM UP A BIT AND GLAZE THEM. THEY WERE AWESOME.
• First, we cooked for 6.5 hours on low, and the ribs came out moist and falling off the bone tender. Any longer, and they would have not have held together. Second, we also coated lightly in BBQ sauce when they came out, and then put them under the broiler for 7 minutes. That way, the outside was crispy and BBQ-like, but the inside was moist and so, so, tender. When we make again, we'll take them out after 6 hours, which is plenty on low! My wife said they are the best she's ever had, and my mother-in-law wanted the recipe!

DRY RUB BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together all ingredients except the ribs. Rub spice mixture all over the ribs. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate ribs for at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
• Preheat the grill to medium heat.
• Arrange the ribs on the barbecue and grill for 40 to 45 minutes, turning with tongs occasionally until meat is tender and crisp on the outside.

PAULA DEEN'S POT ROAST IN A CROCK POT

Steps:

• Sprinkle roast on all sides with house seasoning. Using a skillet over high heat, sear roast until brown in oil. Place roast in a slow cooker, and layer onions, bay leaves, crushed bouillon cubes, garlic, and cream of mushroom soup. Add the Chardonnay and cover with enough water to cover all of the ingredients. Cook on the low setting for 8 hours.

CROCK-POT RIBS

Steps:

• Combine rub ingredients, mixing thoroughly.
• Rub on all sides of ribs.
• Wrap ribs in plastic wrap several times and place in refrigerator overnight.
• Cut ribs into sections of 2-3 ribs.
• Brush the meaty side of each rib section with barbecue sauce.
• Arrange ribs on their sides in crock-pot. Place a layer of 4 bacon strips between the bottom layer of ribs and the top layer. Place the remaining bacon strips over the top. The goal is to not cover the meaty part of the ribs with the bacon, but instead to impart the bacon flavor into the ribs.
• Cover; cook on low for 9 hours.
• Remove ribs from crockpot and drain the juices.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Place the ribs on cooking sheets and reapply a layer of barbecue sauce to the ribs.
• Cook ribs in oven for 3-5 minutes to get a glaze on the surface.
• Remove ribs from oven and serve, or place back in crockpot to keep warm.
