smoky-flavored bbq ribs

WELL....This was suppose to be done....oh, about a day or two ago. But with a newborn, a 3 year old and

a 5 year old time gets away from me.  So here goes.  This is a great recipe that my family has enjoyed for

a few years and we have made it for our family who has visited.  Pretty easy, oh-so tender, and of course

delicious!!  Hope you enjoy it Raechel!!

Smoky-Flavored BBQ Ribs

3 1/2 lbs. of pork loin back ribs (I prefer to use baby back ribs.  But your choice)

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon pepper

3 tablespoons liquid smoke

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup cola

1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce

1.  Spray the inside of a 5-to-6 quart slow cooker with cooking spray.

2.  Remove inner skin from ribs.  Mix brown sugar, pepper, liquid smoke, garlic and salt; rub mixture

     into ribs.  Cut ribs into about 4-inch pieces.  Layer ribs and onion in slow cooker.  Pour cola over

     ribs.

3.  Cover and cook on low heat setting 8 to 9 hours or until ribs are tender.  Remove ribs from cooker. 

     Drain liquid from cooker and discard.

4.  Pour bbq sauce into shallow bowl.  Dip ribs into sauce.  Place ribs in cooker.  Pour any remaining

     sauce over ribs.  Cover and cook on low setting for 1 hours.

You can serve with whatever, but we do rolls, potato salas and baked beans for an easy, old fashioned southern bbq dinner!  :)
