This recipe is one of those timeless family favorites that always turns out right — simple ingredients, slow-cooked flavor, and that cozy, homemade taste that never goes out of style.

Ingredients:

• 3 to 4 pounds country style pork ribs
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 1 cup barbecue sauce
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the slow cooker:
   Place the sliced onions in the bottom of your Crock Pot to create a flavorful base.
2. Season the ribs:
   Sprinkle the ribs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Lay them over the onions in the slow cooker.
3. Mix the sauce:
   In a small bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour the sauce evenly over the ribs.
4. Cook low and slow:
   Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until the ribs are fork-tender and the meat easily pulls apart.
5. Serve:
   Spoon the sauce over the ribs before serving. These are perfect with mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or buttered corn for the ultimate comfort meal.

Jennie’s Thoughts:

These Crock Pot country style ribs are one of my favorite comfort foods to make when I want something easy but satisfying.

The slow cooker does all the work, and the ribs turn out so tender they practically fall apart. The sauce caramelizes beautifully, and the brown sugar adds the perfect touch of sweetness. It’s a simple, hearty meal that feels like home.

Serving Ideas:

I love serving these ribs with creamy mashed potatoes or my Browned Butter Mashed Potatoes for a rich and cozy dinner.

They’re also great with roasted vegetables or baked beans for a complete meal. If you have leftovers, the meat is delicious pulled apart and piled on a sandwich bun the next day — it’s just as flavorful as the first time.

Make-Ahead Tip:

You can assemble everything in the Crock Pot the night before, cover it, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, just set it to cook — and by dinner, your house will smell amazing and your meal will be ready to serve.
