3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Spareribs

Dump a whole rack of spareribs in your slow cooker with 3 simple ingredients and even the pickiest eater will ask for seconds.

Ingredients

• 1 rack pork spareribs (about 2–3 lbs)
• 1 cup barbecue sauce
• 1 can (12 oz) cola soft drink
• 1 packet dry onion soup mix

Instructions

1. Cut the rack of ribs into sections that fit inside the slow cooker.
2. Stand the rib sections upright around the edge of the slow cooker as shown.
3. Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over the ribs.
4. Pour the cola and barbecue sauce over the ribs.
5. Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours.
6. Carefully remove the ribs when tender and falling off the bone.
7. Optional: Brush with extra barbecue sauce and broil for 3–5 minutes for a caramelized finish.
8. Serve hot.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with coleslaw and cornbread.
• Pair with baked potatoes or macaroni salad.
• Add extra barbecue sauce for dipping.

Tip: Standing the ribs upright helps them cook evenly and allows the sauce to coat every section during slow cooking.
