The slow cooker does a great job of creating super tender and juicy ribs. The yummy sauce has a mildly sweet flavor.—mairyn s., Sandy, Utah

Made this yesterday for Mother's Day and they came out so moist and just fell off of the bone...the sauce was really good too!

I didn't let the sauce thicken enough, but they were still really good. I would double the spices next time.
