Creole Crock Pot Ribs Recipes

THE SECRET TO CROCKPOT RIBS (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. Just slide your fingers around the side to loosen it up and rip it right off.
• In a small bowl, stir together the ingredients for the dry rub. Rub this mixture generously over the outside of the ribs to coat.
• Put your ribs in the crockpot. Drizzle on 1 1/2 cups of barbecue sauce, reserving 1/2 cup for later.
• Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. The more racks in the pot, the longer you'll need to cook.
• Gently remove the racks and lay them out on a foil lined baking sheet. Add the reserved barbecue sauce on top.
• Broil under a broiler for 3-5 minutes until the barbecue sauce starts to bubble and caramelize. Alternately you could wrap them in foil and throw them on a heated grill for the same effect.

SLOW COOKER STICKY RIBS

Steps:

• To prepare barbeque sauce, mix all ingredients well in a medium pot, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool, refrigerate until ready to use.
• Rinse ribs and pat dry, flip ribs over and remove membrane that is on the back side of the ribs, it's the white thin film on the ribs, use a butter knife to get under the skin, then pull the membrane off, discard.
• Mix seasoning blend together, coat ribs with olive oil on both sides and rub in seasoning blend on both side. Place ribs in the refrigerator covered and marinate overnight.
• Remove ribs from the refrigerator, cover with half the barbeque sauce, cook in the slow cooker on low for 6 hours.
• Preheat oven to broil.
• Place ribs on an oven proof pan, discard slow cooker juices, baste with remaining barbeque sauce and broil for about 7-10 minutes until a nice crust forms on top of the ribs. Slice ribs and serve.

SLOW COOKER RIBS

Steps:

• Mix the steak seasoning, garlic salt, black pepper, and chili powder in a small bowl. Rub the ribs all over with the seasoning mix, and place into the bottom of a slow cooker. Pour in barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, orange juice, and hot pepper sauce. Liquid should not cover the ribs all the way.
• Set the cooker to Low, and cook until ribs are tender, about 8 hours.

SLOW COOKER BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Season ribs with salt and pepper.
• Pour water into slow cooker. Layer the ribs into the slow cooker. Top the ribs with onion and garlic.
• Cook on High for 4 hours (or Low for 8 hours).
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Transfer ribs to a baking sheet. Discard onion and garlic. Coat ribs with barbeque sauce.
• Bake in preheated oven until the sauce caramelizes and sticks to the meat, 10 to 15 minutes.

CAJUN-STYLE COUNTRY RIBS

Steps:

• Combine carrots, onion, bell peppers, garlic, and 2 tsp Cajun or Creole seasoning in slow cooker; mix well.
• Trim excess fat from ribs. Cut into individual riblets. Sprinkle 1 tbsp Cajun or Creole seasoning over ribs; place in slow cooker over vegetables. Pour tomatoes with juice over ribs (slow cooker will be full.) Cover; cook on LOW 6 to 8 hours or until ribs are fork tender.
• Remove ribs and vegetables from cooking liquid to serving platter. Let liquid stand 5 minutes to allow fat to rise. Skim off fat. Blend water, cornstarch, and remaining 1 tsp Cajun or Creole seasoning until smooth; stir into slow cooker. Cook, uncovered, on HIGH 15 to 30 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Return ribs and vegetables to sauce; carefully stir to coat. Serve with rice.

SLOW-COOKER BARBECUE RIBS

Steps:

• Whisk the tomato paste, brown sugar, vinegar, chili powder, mustard, garlic, paprika, Worcestershire, 1 1/2 tablespoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker until smooth. Cut each rack of ribs in half and add to the slow cooker. Use your hands to rub the sauce on to the ribs. Cover with a lid and cook on low heat until tender, about 4 hours.
• Gently transfer the ribs to a baking sheet and cool for at least 20 minutes; this will help maintain the shape of the ribs as they grill. Whisk the sauce at the bottom of the slow cooker until smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup of the sauce to brush on to the ribs and save any remaining sauce to serve on the side (it will thicken as it cools).
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates. Grill the ribs, top-side down, until lightly charred in parts, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip, brush the top side of the ribs with the reserved barbecue sauce and grill until the underside of the ribs are lightly charred in parts, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove to a platter and serve immediately with the extra barbecue sauce on the side.

• Stir in chicken stock, tomato sauce, sugar, hot pepper sauce, and bay leaves. Reduce heat to low and bring sauce to a simmer. Stir in seasoning mix and simmer until the flavors have blended, about 20 minutes.
