Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 6 ounce can tomato paste
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons prepared mustard
  • 1 tablespoon salt
For the Ribs
  • 2 pounds beef back ribs

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a slow cooker, mix together the water, ketchup, tomato paste, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, and salt. Stir well to dissolve the brown sugar and salt completely.
  2. Place the beef back ribs into the sauce and stir so they are well coated.
  3. Set the slow cooker to Low, cover it, and cook for 8 hours.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the ribs in the sauce for a few hours or overnight before cooking. If you like spicy food, add some hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the sauce mixture. Finishing the ribs under the broiler for a few minutes after cooking adds a crispy texture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
