Amazing and Easy GF Ribs

I've had alot of cravings these days and good ribs was one of them. I've never made great ribs before...until this recipe. And these are not great- they are Amazing! On top of that, they are simple with little to no fuss. The hardest part of this recipe is getting them out of the slow cooker in one piece. Yes they literally fall off the bone. Gotta love Google when you can find recipe gems like this one I found!

Easy GF Ribs

Ingredients:

2 tbsp   Brown sugar

2 tbsp   Smoked paprika

½ tsp    Salt (I use kosher)

1 tsp     Garlic powder (I ran out of powdered, so used 2 cloves of crushed garlic and mixed it in with the cola)
½ tsp    Cayenne pepper
2-3 lbs. Pork back or side ribs
1 cup    Cola, regular  (I used Pepsi, but don't use diet of either Coke or Pepsi)
½ cup   GF BBQ sauce (I used CattleBoyz again, it's gf- use your favorite)


Method:

Combine the first five ingredients to make a rub.
Generously rub the ribs with "the rub" all over both sides and then let them sit for 5 minutes.
Cut the ribs into 3-4 bone pieces and layer in a slow cooker.
Gently pour the cola over the ribs, making sure you don’t wash off all the rub. .
Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
After 6-8 hours, carefully remove the ribs from the slow cooker and place them on a baking sheet.
Brush with bbq sauce and place under the broiler for 3-5 minutes.
Enjoy!

Note: Smoked Paprika really makes this dish. It is more common in grocery stores now than even 5years ago. It is wonderful to add to many dishes and is one of my go spices- a great addition to any pantry.
