Ingredients

Baby Back Ribs

3 pounds pork baby back ribs
1 ½ cups barbecue sauce divided
1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground mustard

Sandwich

pickles sliced
½ medium white onion sliced
4 hamburger buns

Instructions

Remove the membrane from the underside of the baby back ribs. Then, pat dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, add brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and ground mustard. Mix until well combined.
Divide ribs into four equal pieces. Then, coat all sides with prepared dry rub and add to a 6-quart slow cooker. Then, top with one cup of barbecue sauce.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Then gently remove the ribs and place them on the baking sheet. Then, coat the top of the ribs with the remaining barbecue sauce.
Broil for 3-5 minutes until the barbecue sauce thickens and bubbles.
Push out bones and place rib meat on a bun. Top with pickles and sliced onions. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Be sure to remove the membrane from the back of the ribs before cooking. This makes a big difference in ensuring the ribs are tender.
Apply the dry rub generously to give the ribs lots of flavor.
Score between the bones slightly before cooking to make it easier to remove the bones later.
Never reuse sauce that's been in contact with raw meat.
Watch carefully while the ribs are under the broil so they don't burn.
