Slow Cooker Spare Ribs

Slow Cooker Spare Ribs feature pork cooked low and slow until the meat yields at a touch, bathed in a tomato-based sauce laced with soy, Worcestershire, brown sugar, garlic, and onion. The result is tender, saucy ribs with a balanced sweet-salty depth, ideal for cozy dinners or weekend gatherings when you want hands-off comfort food.

Slow Cooker Spare Ribs
  1. 1

    Place the ribs in a large stock pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    In a mixing bowl, combine the soup, onion, garlic, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Remove the ribs from the water and transfer them to a slow cooker. Pour the sauce over the ribs.

  3. 3

    Cover and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours, or until the ribs are tender.

  4. 4

    If the sauce is too thin when the cooking time is finished, drain the sauce from the ribs and pour it into a saucepan. Mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch with a small amount of cold water, stir it into the sauce, and bring the sauce to a boil. Cook until the sauce reaches the desired thickness.
